I bought the big bag of spinach at the local big box store today. I reheated the leftover beef roast from the other night along with some steamed then fried red potatoes for dinner tonight. One of the things I do to vary the idea of “leftovers” is to vary the side dishes rather than repeat the same dang dinner a few nights later. So earlier we’d had roast, rice, and carrots. Tonight we had roast, red potatoes, and sauteed spinach.

1 pound spinach (I guess)
1/4 cup or less of olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
red pepper flakes
juice of one lemon
salt to taste

Rinse the spinach and then cook it over medium heat, covered for a minute or so, until wilted.
Drain and squeeze dry.

Heat the oil in the same pan and add the garlic and cook a minute. Add the spinach, red pepper flakes, lemon juice, and salt. Stir periodically until blended and the spinach is cooked.
