The Health Benefits of Spinach (plus recipes)
Spinach is one of the most amazing super foods out there. It’s a powerhouse of nutrients and contains very few calories and is naturally fat-free and cholesterol-free.

Spinach Watermelon Salad
I’ve been wanting to use watermelon in some kind of recipe but wasn’t sure what. I love watermelon and how refreshing it is during the hot summers in Texas. Sure, it’s awesome to eat it alone, but I kept thinking that maybe it would taste great in some type of dish, maybe a salad. So…
Kielbasa and Spinach Soup

Quinoa Spinach Pilaf
Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been experimenting with some different uses for quinoa. Now don’t get me wrong, I love, love, love plain quinoa and could eat it for almost every meal but certain other members of my family like a little more variety. I like variety too but sometimes I just don’t…
