Spinach Recipes

I’m sure I am not the only mom who pushes lots of spinach to her kids because it’s good for their eyes, their growth, their health etc etc. I know it all sounds cliche but spinach really is an amazing green leaf that should be added to our diet in bigger quantities.

I bet you’re not the only one who buys lots of spinach, doesn’t use it for few days then finds it wilting in the refrigerator. Hope my recipes will help you out with ideas on how to use more spinach in your diet:)). Enjoy!

Frittatas are a great way to serve up lots of eggs, spinach and other veggies for a brunch at home. I make this frittata in a cast iron skillet and add some feta cheese inside for a great flavor! Spinach wilts fast and shrinks in volume, so you can add a lot and it will still be barely visible. Get Recipe: Frittata

Phyllo pies or ‘byrek’ in my native language are such a great way to wrap up spinach and feta cheese and bake until crispy, golden brown pie. We can bake this dish in a rectangle shape and cut in pieces or make in spiral form like shown above. Either way, it tastes amazing and kids can’t get enough of this. Get Recipe: Spinach Phyllo Pie

As you can see I love incorporating spinach in almost every meal from breakfast to dinner. It’s easy to use as a hidden vegetable or make massive salads with it. It compliments chicken and pasta casserole dishes so well, that I feel bad not adding any spinach in even if the recipe doesn’t call for it.
