I have a great greens recipie.

Greek Greens

Take 4 cups of greens, any will do and steam in a little bit of water until they are wilted, and tender, but not mushy. Obviously Spinach will take much less time than beet greens or collards for example. Drain them and press a bit so they are not soggy and water logged.

Sautee 1 to 2 cloves minced garlic(I prefer more as I love garlic, but you may use less) in 2 tablespoons Olive Oil. Satuee until tender, 2 mins aprox. Add 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of lemon juice and a sprinkle of salt to taste.

Mix the greens and the Olive Oil mixture together, add Feta Cheese crumbles, about 1/4 cup will do.

Sometimes I crisp up some tofu and add that also. It tastes great and even my kids adore them this way.

I also don't make Sloppy Joes with meat or crumbles. I use Green Lentils instead and add sloppy joe mix, some brown sugar and a bit of ketchup. I cook in the crock pot and leave burger buns on the counter for the kids when they get home from school.
