sautéed spinach
(2 RATINGS)
This is a regular at our house. We love it...including my kids! Taking off from my wife's traditional way of doing greens and combining it with a little something I learned from an African friend of ours, I ended up with a dish that is cheap, quick, very tasty and pretty healthy - a big win! Note: we used to use a little bacon grease to start, but now we just use olive oil - much healthier that way.
