The Twigatarian

Yesterday I felt the need for some good, simple whole foods. I made roasted potatoes, pressure-cooked spinach, baked squash, and brown rice with mushrooms.

Spinach

one tablespoon olive oil
a shake/teaspoon each of: cumin, coriander, nutmeg
three garlic cloves, grated
two pounds fresh spinach [two bags]
one cup water

place all in pressure cooker and cook ten minutes, releasing pressure naturally

Roasted Potatoes

5 or 6 red potatoes, eyed and quartered [sounds like a torture]
one tablespoon olive oil
two slices of onion, chopped
three or four garlic cloves, grated
one 4 oz package tomato pizza sauce
a quarter cup water

place into casserole and toss thoroughly
bake 400 degrees about one hour

halve and seed delicata squash , bake 400 degrees about 30 minutes

My daughter remarked that she was thinking that if her mother were a "twigatarian", she would find a way to make the twigs delicious.
