WARM SPINACH SALAD WITH BACON, TOMATOES, AND PECANS
The bacon and the pecans add crunch to this delicious salad. You can substitute baby spinach in this recipe for a more tender bite, but we like how the flat-leaf wilts.

SPINACH TOMATO & BACON GRILLED CHEESE
I can't think of anything better than a grilled cheese and a cup of tomato soup. This is just a little different version. PLEASE DO NOT USE LOW FAT MAYO, FAT FREE MAYO OR MIRACLE WHIP IN THIS RECIPE. IT WILL NOT TURN OUT CORRECTLY!! You have to use regular mayo.

Steps:
- Melt butter over med-high heat in a non-stick skillet.
- Add spinach to butter and sautee until it begins to wilt then remove from pan and set aside. (I usually set it on a paper towel covered plate so the paper towel can soak up the extra moisture from the butter. If not the sandwich might be somewhat soggy).
- Add tomato slices to butter and sautee until they begin to soften then remove from skillet and set aside. (I also set these on a paper towel covered plate with the spinach for the same reason.).
- Wipe skillet clean with a paper towel.
- Spread 1/2 tablespoon of mayonnaise on one side of each slice of bread and place mayonnaise side down in the skillet over med-high heat.
- Top each slice of bread with one slice of cheese.
- Then on one of the slices of cheese topped bread place bacon, spinach, and tomato slices and top with the other slice of bread.
- Sautee in skillet, turning, until golden brown on both sides and cheese begins to melt.
- Serve with tomato soup or just a la carte.
- * Note: DO NOT USE LOW FAT/FAT FREE MAYO or MIRACLE WHIP! It will not brown correctly and it tends to be greasy! You must use regular full fat mayo. Watch this very closely it browns very quickly using the mayonnaise instead of butter on the outside.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425F. Place bacon strips on a large cookie sheet. Bake 15 minutes or until nice and crispy.
- Meanwhile, slice tomatoes, toast bread just before bacon is ready. Drain bacon well. Spread miracle whip on both sides of bread. On one side place tomato, and the other spinach, bacon in the middle. Add 4-5 pieces per sandwich. Enjoy!!
Tips:
- Use ripe tomatoes. Ripe tomatoes will have a more intense flavor and sweetness than unripe tomatoes.
- Choose thick-cut bacon. Thick-cut bacon will add more flavor and texture to the sandwich.
- Cook the bacon until it is crispy. Crispy bacon will add a nice crunch to the sandwich.
- Use fresh spinach. Fresh spinach will add a pop of color and nutrients to the sandwich.
- Use a hearty bread. A hearty bread will hold up well to the fillings and won't get soggy.
- Spread mayonnaise or aioli on the bread. Mayonnaise or aioli will add richness and creaminess to the sandwich.
- Add cheese. Cheese is a classic addition to a BLT sandwich. Cheddar, mozzarella, or pepper Jack cheese are all good choices.
- Season the sandwich with salt and pepper. Salt and pepper will help to enhance the flavors of the other ingredients.
Conclusion:
The bacon, spinach, and tomato sandwich is a delicious and easy-to-make sandwich that is perfect for lunch or dinner. With its combination of salty bacon, fresh spinach, and juicy tomatoes, this sandwich is sure to please everyone.
