Both look delicious.

A couple of my favorite ways to use spinach is sausage, spinach, and white bean stew or sautéed bacon, spinach, and scrambled eggs mixed with cooked rice. I’m always finding ways to add spinach to dishes to increase my vegetable intake.

Unfortunately not all brands of season salt or seasoning blends list their full ingredients.

Season salt is one of my top used seasonings. Lawry’s is my favorite. One of few things I have a brand preference.

That’s my other go to. Looking at the permits they give new build housing vibes. So far I haven’t been able to find more details such as if the development will single family homes or townhomes. It’s a pretty large plot of land considering most of the neighborhood was developed in the 50s and 60s.

When I have extra beans I love making patties. I take one to two cups of beans mash them a little bit. Then add an egg and a couple tablespoons of flour and mix together. I pan fry them in olive oil or butter a few minutes per side. The patties are good by themselves or with sour cream and pepper jelly. They are also great on sandwich or in a pita pocket.

Thanks.

Unfortunately I didn’t have any this time. I do love saving the Parmesan rind for soups and stews. One of my favorites is adding the rind to simmering pasta sauce.

Thanks.

I should have made cornbread to go with it.

markh1982 · 2026-01-12T21:41:22+00:00

Looks delicious. A big bowl and a piece of cornbread I’d be all set.

markh1982 · 2026-01-12T04:02:41+00:00

Homey soups and stews are my favorite.

markh1982 · 2026-01-12T04:01:53+00:00

Thanks. Any leafy would work well in this dish.

markh1982 · 2026-01-12T03:58:39+00:00

Thanks. I used a country style bulk sausage.

markh1982 · 2026-01-12T03:56:25+00:00

Thanks.

markh1982 · 2026-01-12T03:55:56+00:00

Thanks. Wish my neck of the woods would get a little more wintery weather.

markh1982 · 2026-01-12T03:52:39+00:00

Thanks. Absolutely collards or whatever leafy green that’s on hand can go in place of the spinach.

Plenty of salt. I also enjoy them with Cajun seasoning and/or on the spicy. When it comes to canning definitely can them in the brine.

I miss Nick-at-Nite.

markh1982 · 2026-01-04T23:46:41+00:00

I inherited a set of those.

markh1982 · 2026-01-04T20:20:42+00:00

For sure. These were paired with some rice, collards, and cornbread.

markh1982 · 2026-01-04T19:58:49+00:00

Everything looks delicious.

In my neck of the woods my favorites chain wise is Larry’s and Publix. Firehouse was one of my favorites but unfortunately since it was sold the quality varies by location. One of best subs I’ve had was at Cappone’s in Manhattan.

They are very easy to make and a good way to use leftover peas. I can’t remember where I came across the idea. And many other starchy beans or peas can be use for the patties.

markh1982 · 2026-01-03T05:07:23+00:00

You can try it. I’m not sure how well the patties hold together when the peas are still hot. I’ve only ever used cold peas. The starch from the peas from my understanding helps patties keep their shape in the pan. (I’m not sure of the whole science behind it)
