Spinach Saag Paneer from Jaffron in New Hope, Pennsylvania

Saag Paneer from Jaffron

This week I've been hanging around the East Coast. Whenever I venture back home to the NY tri-state area, there is always a few pit stops I make a point to visit while I'm over here.

One of them is New Hope, PA. It feels like a fairly isolate town--miles and miles of cows, stretches of farmlands, and rivers away. But the drive to New Hope is so pretty, and worth spending the additional 10 or 15 minutes taking the scenic route rather than the highways. There's a lot of interesting shops around new hope -- you can buy clothes or get your palms read. 

Most importantly, there are ample opportunities to eat spinach.

We decided to get spinach (along with chicken korma and sizzling salmon) at Jaffron--a small Indian restaurant tucked away a bit off of the main street. Glad we went!

At Jaffron, there's enough to go around.

There were six of us in total sitting at my table, and all of us agreed that the food was delicious. It is very filling and served in large family style bowls, so you can definitely share! Be prepared to be very full if you decide to stop in Jaffron the next time you're in town...it's easy to loose track of how much spinach you're eating when it's so tasty.

Spinach on,

Food Porn: Five Ingredient One Pot Spinach Mushroom Spaghetti


Whenever I find good one pot meal recipes...I feel like a hoarding thief if I don't share them. 

I found this one on Kids Activities Blog  -- 'Kids Activities' because this recipe is so easy that a child can do it. And it only has 5 ingredients. So there's a big chance you already have all of these ingredients lying in your fridge, especially if you're a spinach, pasta, or mushroom lover. 

Don't tell spinach I said so, but if you don't already have spinach in your fridge, other greens or herbs could taste yummy here as well. Flat leaf parsley or rosemary sprigs perhaps?
