I've become such a believer in leafy greens and can't tell you how much better I feel in general, health wise, since incorporating them into our food on an almost daily basis.
I used to buy packaged baby spinach, but I discovered how much better we like the spinach bunch at the grocery store. I know that's not the technical term but, that's how it's sold, in a big bunch. It's way different than the prepacked variety - more tasty, thicker, just...better tasting and even costs less.
I especially love that my kiddos have become fond of a little side salad. It's so easy. A few spinach leafs, a grape tomato, baby carrots, and cucumber slices and voila - healthy kid salad. I always throw in a little avocado too, if it's on hand. It helps that kids like everything dry usually.
No salad dressing = even healthier = :) Momma.
The pasta dish (recipe here) has become a family favorite but, Iris and Sam don't like the cooked spinach and red pepper flakes, so I make their version first...then, add in the rest for mine which makes Mom a happy camper too :). I added the grape tomatoes last time while mine was cooking and YUM!
Just a few little tidbits on how to get more nutrition in you and your entire family's life and ward off those visits to the pediatrician and doctor. Salud!
