I made this with the lemon juice, and it was fantastic! Next time I'll try it with the vinegar. -
I love spinach cooked this way. Vinegar adds a nice flavor. -
Very good spinach. Used margarine instead of butter, turned out great. Next time, I might add garlic. Thanks Inez. -
My family loved this spinach! I used unsalted-butter, but didn't add lemon juice or vinegar. The spinach had a wonderful flavor and I will definitely make this dish again! -

After DH and I moved away from the farm, and to the city...I haven't done as much cooking and very little canning. But I do come to Zaar and look for new recipes once in a while. I'm still cooking Zaar!!
I like to play at Facebook, with my family and friends. A lot of my Zaar friends are there!! Yay! It's a good way to keep in touch.
We travel more. We're looking at the European trips now. Hope to go in the springtime. I really want to see London, I think I lived there in a past life, I've been obsessed with it since I was 10 years old!!
