Spinach is like the nerd in high school who isn’t appreciated until years after graduation, when everyone else is struggling to make ends meet living paycheck-to-paycheck and the doesn’t-wear-Coke-bottle-glasses-anymore-because-they-can-afford-Lasik-and-you-can’t nerd is pulling six figures, filing patents and publishing articles in peer-reviewed journals.

Then, everyone takes notice.

Spinach is one of my favorite foods now, though I must admit that I turned up my nose at it when I was younger. I love fresh spinach in salads, but my favorite way to eat spinach is with eggs. 

This morning, I made a spinach omelet, and I wish I could’ve shared a bite of it with you, because this picture doesn’t do it justice.

It was scrumptious, and such a healthy way to start my day!

For the record, some of my best friends were nerds. Heck, I was a nerd. I do prefer the more recently en vogue term “geek,” though. 😉
