In an effort to be necessarily conservative (and healthy!) with our monetary resources, Matt and I have worked on making smart food purchases. The other day, when at Costco, Matt noticed that a 3-pound bag of spinach only cost $3.00. Falling in line with our food purchasing goals, Matt bought the bag and brought it home. What he didn't realize, is that the day before I had found a 1.5-pound bag of spinach on sale, and so we now had 4.5 pounds of spinach on our hands.
I have since been scrambling to find recipes with spinach. So far, we've had a spinach salad every night (although the toppings have changed from almonds and mandarin oranges to mozzarella cheese and mushrooms), and I cooked up some "spinach and eggs" for breakfast the other day. I always send Matt to work with some spinach salad (while I eat some at home), and we are planning on lasagna (with spinach) and a spinach salad for this weekend.
I hope this means we are getting enough "dark greens" in our diet.

talk about your secrets to weight loss... You two will be so healthy after eating all those leafy greens...
Try a spinach artichoke dip . . . that will use a lot of it.
steam your spinach, chop it up, and put it in little zip-lock bags and freeze! It's a great way to store it because it goes bad fast.
By the way, Kye is still not excited about his job. He will be on a more intense new job search after Christmas.
Bec--we actually tried the spinach artichoke dip yesterday, and it tasted great! I'm excited for leftovers tonight.
