It's not St. Patrick's Day yet but this week's "Seasonal Seven" recipe collection may just tint us green, spinach green, that is. It's focused entirely on the leafy green spinach, especially handy for anyone who has a bag in the fridge that needs using up (hello, AK) or looks at those giant bags at Sam's and Costo and wonders how anyone would ever go through it all. Turns out, it's not so hard. In fact, it was hard to pick just seven recipes. This is my favorite recipe collection this year!

If you’re craving something crisp, colorful, and irresistibly fresh, let me introduce you to the vegetable daikon (some times called daikon radish) and your next favorite side dish.
