Foods That Heal: Spinach

Today's Food that Heals is Spinach served up in Crumbs Bakery's Spinach Fettuccine.
This is pasta that Popeye would love!
How Happy is Lisa?

Lisa works at Crumbs Bakery, which is why she is so happy! Crumbs is a worker owner business established in 1986 and is located in Athens, Ohio. They have wonderful pastries, as well as hand crafted crackers and wonderful pasta. Crumbs Bakery is in a shared use kitchen with me, The Herbal Sage Tea Company. There are other folks who create wonderful foods as well, but today's topic is on Lisa, Crumbs and the FAB Spinach Fettuccine. What a wonderful way to include some veggie into a nutritious meal.
We often think of spinach as a cooked green and many do not enjoy it.Spinach  eaten as a fresh green,  can tend to be tough or too leafy for many. But spinach is so beneficial. I want to encourage everyone to try spinach in their weekly menu. Lisa is just the gal to help make that happen. Can  you see that glow of health beaming directlyy at you? Could it be that those ribbons of spinach and love are permeating thru? Maybe!! I love having creative folks  around the kitchen, we never know what will be stirred up, cooked or brewed. Lisa's infectious laugh is an added bonus any day at work.

Include spinach in your diet the easy way is with the Spinach Fettuccine offered by our local bakers from Crumbs! Spinach is rich in flavanoids, vitamins and minerals. Dried spinach is blended with flour, eggs and other secret bakery ingredients and made into these little ribbons called Fettuccine. By eating this nourishing pasta one has the benefits of fiber.Spinach is rich in complex carbohydrates, which provides our bodies with vitamins, minerals and energy. Crumbs Bakery and their offering of spinach, can provide our bellies with a real delight in taste as well as health!
So please eat your spinach! Keep Lisa smilin'!
