A great way to get in your veggies
I came across this recipe, and now it's one of my favorite side dishes to serve company. It's a simple, simple mixture of easy-to-find ingredients, yet it won't be forgotten by those who taste it.
You've gotta try this one....even if you hate spinach (and always have).
