A Spinach & Ricotta Grilled Cheese is a quick and easy solution to your calzone craving. Made on sourdough bread for added crunch, this gooey sandwich with a hint of greens is absolutely delicious.
I have to assume that even the most spiritual people get stressed out sometimes. I'm assuming because I'm definitely not amongst the most spiritual of humans. I do strive to live a life of compassion and connection. I dedicate time and energy to learning as much as I can about witchcraft and spirituality, but I am very much just a regular person with regular problems. But surely even Eckhart Tolle has moments where he just really needs a donut.
I could be wrong. Maybe it's just wishful thinking. I want to believe that I'm not alone in craving foods that are not optimal fuel for my body but are sources of pure pleasure. Sometimes I think that I need to take better care of my precious body by eating foods that are healthy and gross. Other times, I think, why are we having this human experience if we're not allowed to enjoy it? I don't know which side is right, but I think you know I usually give in to pleasure. Especially when it comes to cheese.
What makes this Spinach & Ricotta Grilled Cheese so awesome?
This grilled cheese starts with a typical calzone filling of sauteed spinach, garlic, ricotta cheese, and a dash of nutmeg. Then we're adding in even more melty cheese to hold it all together. You can make this on any old bread, but a nice sourdough really adds a lot of texture and a slight hit of acid. There's a lot going on here. Prepare to make a mess and have a huge smile on your face.
You're gonna have a fair bit of spinach and ricotta filling, so you can make a bunch of sandwiches all at once or save it, either for a different recipe or just to have another sandwich tomorrow. Whatever makes you happy.
Make it magical
Can a sandwich be a spell? I say, of course it can. This sandwich can actually help you increase your spiritual connection.

Garlic can protect us on our spiritual journey. Nutmeg increases psychic power. Spinach helps open your heart chakra and increases your connection to your inner child. Bring all these ingredients together to help you grow in your craft. Feel your power expand as you happily cook and eat.

Freaking yum! And yeah, even before you identified it as such, I was all, "What?! Renee put spinach in her grilled cheese?!" You are full of surprises, my dear. A veggie-hater, and then you go for spinach, a veggie royal. š
