I remember thinking when I was a kid that spinach was slimy and gross and, of course, you only ate it if you wanted big muscles like Popeye. Grandma knew better. What makes a better and healthier salad than fresh spinach?
1/2 lb bacon cut into small pieces and browned to a crisp
2 peeled tangerines (with seeds removed)
6 cups fresh baby spinach leaves
1/4 cup of your favorite salad dressing (I like Poppyseed)
Toss spinach, bacon pieces and oranges in a large serving bowl. You may add dressing before serving or set out a variety and let everyone pick their favorite.

My Grandma passed away at the age of 94. She was a wonderful cook and I was lucky enough to inherit her recipes. Many date back to the 1940s and 50s. Grandma prepared them in a charming country kitchen with no running water and most of her produce came from her garden, not from the grocery store. These are made-from-scratch recipes. I wish I had spent more time with her in the kitchen and . . . I wish I had spent more time with her for so many other reasons.
