Always make room for spinach

My spinach this year has been fabulous. I planted bright lights at the end of Autumn and we were eating it about 2 months later almost every day. Spinach serves 4 purposes in our home.

The bug bitten leaves go to the chickens. The huge leaves go into dog food. The small leaves we eat raw in salads and if I don't need for dog food I use the larger leaves for cooked meals.

Some of the spinach is starting to got to seed, but there is still plently left to eat.

Today I made cheese, spinach and walnut muffins for lunch.

I steamed a large bunch of spinach until soft. While that was steaming I mixed together 400g flour, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, 250ml grated cheddar and salt and pepper. I chopped the walnuts and added it to the dry ingredients.

In another bowl I mixed 2 eggs and some milk and then added the cooled chopped spinach.

Mixed it all together, adjusted the liquid and baked them at 180 until brown. Very yummy and nutrtious.
