A Bag of Fresh Spinach

I hope you found what you were looking for, but here is what I did when I accidentally left a bag of spinach in the crisper for a bit too long. It wasn’t mushy-gushy, but the leaves were a bit bruised, and I didn’t really have a plan for it, so I almost tossed it out. That nights dinner was chili in the crock pot, and decided I just couldn’t bear to toss out such a pricey item that really wasn’t spoiled, but would be by the time I had time to prepare it as a stand alone dish. So…I pureed it with a tiny bit of chicken broth and canned tomatos, and tossed it into the chili. No one was the wiser, and my youngest proclaimed it the best chili ever. Hee hee. Little did he know he was getting a big dose of spinach in every spoonful. Next time I am throwing in some pureed carrots for good measure.
Good luck.
