What foods come to mind when you think about Super Bowl party foods?

In our celebration of dark, leafy greens so far, I've tried to sway you toward eating more kale, chard, and spinach. If you're looking for optimum nutritional value and culinary possibilities, I'd consider those to be the three leafy-green superstars.

Our celebration of leafy greens continues this week with spinach, long recognized as one of the superfoods, and definitely one of the most versatile leafy greens around.

Last week I talked about kale, and told you that we'd be focusing on cooking with leafy green vegetables for the month of January. There are lots of leafy greens, so this week I'd planned to combine Swiss chard and bok choy. However, as soon as I started checking out the chard recipes in the BlogHer network, I developed what my mom used to call "a good problem to have." There were so many intriguing ways to cook it, it immediately became obvious I had to give chard the entire post.

January is the time when most people try to eat more healthful food and maybe even lose a few pounds. So how is that working out for you?
