Spinach

for Your Eyes

by Victoria

You may

have thought that Popeye only got stronger after

a can of

spinach, but his eyes also benefited from the

dark

green, leafy vegetable. One half cup spinach packs

so much

lutein and zeaxanthin that eating that small

amount

four to seven times a week dramatically improved eyesight in people with

macular degeneration. Do your eyes a favor today and eat a yummy spinach salad!

Note from

Chet: First off, try this easy energy boost.

Buy a bag

of baby spinach leaves and the next time you're

in an

afternoon or mid-morning slump, instead of heading

for the

coffee pot, eat a handful or two of the baby

leaves.

Baby spinach is a healthy and great pick-me-

upper!

And while

I'm sharing hints on spinach with Victoria,

here's a

recipe for those who can't stand spinach:

Spinach

for Spinach Haters

10 ounces

frozen spinach

1 clove

garlic -- chopped, large clove

1 Tbs

unsalted butter

1/2 cup

heavy cream -- approximately

1 pinch

thyme

Freshly

ground pepper

1/3 cup

parmesan cheese -- freshly grated, approximate

1/2 to 1

tsp apple cider vinegar

1 pinch

ground nutmeg

Cook

spinach as directed and drain for as long as your

patience

permits (squeezing it with towels to speed

drying

up) and set aside. Melt butter over moderate heat.

Brown

garlic in butter, throwing in thyme and pepper (to

taste)

just before garlic is lightly browned. Immediately

throw in

spinach and warm it up before adding cream and vinegar. Stir. When mixture

starts to thicken up, add cheese and take off burner. The cheese will continue

melting. Sprinkle a bit of nutmeg and give it a final stir or two.
