Chorizo, Spinach & Chick Pea Saute

This recipe is from Guy Fieri's "Guy's Big Bite". We both found it, well kind of interesting and not so yummy. I really hate it when I try new recipes and they just don't work, but that is why I do this blog, so you won't waste your time.
This dish had a very earthy flavor from the spinach and chick peas. I normally like earthy, but this dish just didn't get it for me. I think I need to give Chorizo a break, because I haven't really liked the dishes that I've made recently, using it. Anyway, won't do this one again. Unfortunately, NOT Good Eats!

Laura's Lean w/ Creamed Spinach and Rotini

It has been awhile since my last post, but I revisted many of my previous dishes, so nothing to post. I'm glad to be back and this is what I've got.  I subscribe to Laura's Lean Newsletters and today she had some spring recipes, so I thought I would give one a try. It probably would've been worse, but I dressed it up a bit. Before I share my additions, here is her recipe: 1 med onion finely diced, 1 lb of LL 92/8 ground beef, 1 pkg of thawed creamed spinach, 2 eggs lightly beaten, 1/4 c grated Parmesan cheese. You will need to brown your beef with the onion. When beef is no longer pink, stir in the spinach, then stir in the eggs. Serve immediately over pasta and sprinkle with the cheese. Although very quick and simple, my thoughts were bland-a-rama. I kicked it up a notch by adding 6 cloves of minced garlic, kosher salt to my liking, and fresh ground pepper to the beef/onion while cooking, then followed remaining steps, and my last step was to add crushed red pepper. I served it over Rotini Pasta, but you could use whatever you have in the pantry. Healthy yes, but needs help. Try it and let me know what you did differently.
