...when spinach grows up. |
Operation, save the CSA - prep and freeze - before going home sweet home for Christmas...
With two ginormous bags of CSA spinach in the fridge and the desire to make something that would freeze, I opted for creamed spinach. A first, but not a last time this will happen. (And quite a treat to the usual - dash of olive oil to saute spinach)
