That soup recipe looks interesting. I am on the lookout for soup recipes and others with spinach, so I'll have it on file for the cold weather soup pot time of the year.

I am in the process of cutting back on carbs for the summer, and with all the fresh spinach I have, I'm looking for Low Carbs recipes with spinach.

I am not fond of cooking it - always to mushy. I did try a stir fry Thai recipe and it wasn't too bad, but I am looking for additional ways to use it raw or stir fry or hidden in casserole or something-as long as it is relatively low carb.

I am currently targeting 100g of Carbs. Next week it goes down to 80g of Carbs. Have been busy looking for low carb breading for oven baked chicken, bread, and crackers/snacks.

I have also been stuck with about 4 egg whites a week, and have made a meringue type cookie, and a Strawberry Scrumptious which is basically meringue baked in a cookie crust and topped with cool whip and strawberries.

Both are too high in sugar, so I'm going to add extra egg whites to my pancake recipe this week for my grand daughter, but if anyone has some sort of low carb treat, then I sure could use it.

It's hard to get nutritious food into her stomach. She would eat nothing but Twinkies, ice cream, and Popsicles if I let her.

It's hard to get nutritious food into my grand-daughter.....

Kids love "Trail Mix"......they don't know its nutritious.

Just bowl up raisins, dried apricots, chopped dates rolled in dry oatmeal, lots of bran flakes (or other sugarless cereal), honey-roasted peanuts, popcorn, pretzel sticks, chocolate chips......the idea is to add whatever you, or she, likes.

Nice TV munch. Can take it with them out to play in lidded boxes.
