- Warm Spinach Salad with Hard Boiled Eggs and Bacon Enter Mushrooms.
- Summer or Winter this was served at least once a month a my house growing up. It was served at Noon our main meal. But since I grew up in a house full of hungry boys and young men. I am from the mid west and the men and boys at our house were mostly teens who ate a good healthy or unhealthy portion of meat and potatoes. We grew up sitting down this time of day everyday where everyone including my Grandma and Aunt who lived with us to sit down to a meal together. No radio or TV allowed. Only conversation. My Mother did not want to eat like the guys who worked in the field all day so she made something like a main dish salad for my grandma, aunt, me, and herself. We often ate small portions of meat and potatoes with it but the salad was our main meal. However, my father insisted everyone eat at least one spoonful of whatever was put on the table so we became more adventurous eaters. At the time as I gagged on rutabagas and parsnips I did not know that it would make me an adventurous eater.
