My Crab and Squash Tidbits

Here's a squash recipe I tweaked to fit into my newly designed wellness menu: 3 cups peeled and cut tidbit sized squash green chilies 1 1/2 cups of coconut milk 4 regular sized blue crabs steamed, (Remove claws, and slice each crab in to two, set aside) 2 small dried bayleaf 1/2 tsp cumin 1 small onion quartered 5 cloves of pounded garlic 2 tbsps vegetable oil 5 cloves of pounded garlic On low heat, saute garlic on vegetable oil, then add onions. Add the 3 cups of squash. When squash is half-cooked, add crabs. Stir often to avoid veggie burning. Add bayleaf, salt, cumin and coconut milk. Cook until coconut begins to oil and curdle. Add green chilies. Serve hot. Serves 4.

And I love me spinach (water)

Pork, kangkong, rice. "Water spinach or kangkong (Ipomoea aquatica), also known as kangkong, water glorybind, water spinach, water convolvulus, and swamp cabbage, is an important green leaf vegetable in Southeast Asia, Taiwan, Ceylon, and Malaysia. Known to have originated in India but is now widely grown throughout the tropics. Water spinach can become an undesirable weed. There are two major forms (cultivars) that are cultivated in two ways, either upland (dry) or swamp (wet). Ching Quat, an upland variety, has narrow leaves, while Pak Quat, a swamp variety, has arrowhead-shaped leaves. The plants produce a trailing hollow vine that is adapted to floating in aquatic environments. The leaves are light green and look somewhat like sweet potato leaves. The upland types are started from seed or cuttings and are grown on trellises. Plants are often grown in nursery beds for transplanting later to the garden. Taking cuttings from plants in the nursery beds is the usual method. Harvest
