Guest guest Posted September 25, 2006 Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 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.
