I seriously wish I liked greens. They are so good nutritionally. I keep trying new recipes, but so far yuck.

I once liked spinach that they served at our school - it was canned, but they seasoned it well, though I am not sure with what. I used to eat my spinach and everyone else’s including the teacher.

I have a bumper crop of basil so far this year. I wonder if fresh basil would be good in spinach? Have you ever tried poke salad? Try looking up the nutritional information on it, and you will really be amazed.

We didn’t care for the beet greens that I tried to make once. They sure were pretty though. But the beets themselves are my favorite vegetable that I grow.

I cannot abide cooked greens as a side. If I can’t eat ‘em raw, I usually mix them into a casserole or stir-fry. I also dehydrate and store wild greens, because a lot of them are nutritional powerhouses. Stir-fry when they’re fresh, crumble them up into soup or casserole when they’re dry. (Besides, when they’re crumbled, my husband thinks they’re herbs and doesn’t gripe about extra vegetables. :D)
