    How about some dips too? You could probably freeze them? I LOVE a spinach, basil and cashew dip from the supermarket, you could make heaps of that.

    Or even a creamy cheesy pasta sauce that you could freeze?

    I add spinach to everything, pretty much every sauce, I use it like lettuce in sandwiches, in risotto...

    Pick the leaves while they are smallish and use the same way you would use lettuce. The have a sweeter taste and are healthier.
    Another way is to blend it and then cook for a few minutes then place meal amounts in freezer bags or containers.
    Can also be used instead of silverbeet....better tasting.
    Just remember that it doesn't need much cooking or it's yuk

    Wilt some spinach then drain well
    Mix in some feta cheese
    Spread this mix on a sheet of puff pastry about ? cm thick
    Start at one end of the sheet of pastry and roll up into a sausage shape. Same as you would if you were making a jam roll
    Brush with a beaten egg
    Bake in oven at about 180 for around 20 mins.
    You could also a small amount of sweet chilli sauce to the spinach feta mix.
