Spinach
It’s spinach season out at Barefoot Gardens. One of the things I cooked this week was a savory bread pudding with Spinach and Bacon. Yes, I said bacon, which I haven’t cooked in years until I saw a new brand called Beeler’s – also labeled Hog Wild. It’s not organic, but seems to be the equivalent of Smart Chicken – no antibotics, vegetarian fed, no nitrates. Anyway… this bread pudding was great. I’ll definitely try a vegetarian version next time with Spinach and Mushrooms.
Here is the very delicious Butternut Squash and Parmesan Cheese Bread pudding recipe I based it on.

I think you can substitute almost anything for the squash – it’s just the base recipe that is important. For the spinach version, I exchanged 2+ cups of wilted, chopped spinach and about a cup of broiled, chopped bacon for the 3 cups of squash and used smoked mozzerella instead of parmesan. Everything else was the same. Yummy!
Another tasty baked spinach dish I tried few weeks ago with Anne B. was Baked Eggs and Spinach and Mushrooms.
Finally, a favorite of mine I’ve been making for a while is a crustless quiche made with spinach and kale – but I’ve also made it with kale and chard.
