This morning we had shredded, pan fried Yukon gold potatoes sprinkled liberally with cayenne, salt, paprika, grated cheese, chopped fresh spinach, and diced tomatoes. (I like a bit of slivered red onion and sour cream on mine as well.)
You can serve this beauty with eggs and breakfast meat if you like, but personally I think it stands alone just fine...

In high school, 'spinach' was a lump of stringy flavorless snot, and I didn't understand why they even served it, since nobody ate it.
In college, my roommate was a Greek/Italian mutt, and since my own family was a thousand miles away, I had Thanksgiving and Christmas and Easter dinners with his family, who made the most *amazing* spinach dishes. I couldn't believe how awesome spinach was in the hands of someone who wasn't being paid 3.75 an hour to scoop snot on a plate to a bunch of ingrateful teenagers.
I also love brussel sprouts, and eat frozen peas like M&Ms, as a snack. So, yeah, I'm a mutant.

I am Greek and so is my wife. Between the two of us we can really "mix it up" with a batch of fresh baby spinach (and regular spinach for that matter). You can thank our mothers and their training for that!

Can't forget the most heavenly incarnation of spinach ever: Palak Paneer!
Mom's Spinach Souffle'? Also nothing to sneeze at...

Set, that's my childhood memory of spinach too. I was well into adulthood before I tried spinach again. Now one of my favorite quick salads is spinach with shaved Pecorino Romano, almond slivers, and dressed in olive oil and sherry vinegar.
