I went to the grocery store and all the veggies looked good today. So I bought a little of everything and this is what I did with it. This came out so good and it is a great meal for a summer day or any day. Try grilling the veggies instead of roasting them in the oven. The hot vegetables wilt the spinach just a little to make it yummy.
