Warm Peanut Butter Spinach
Pick up some fresh spinach from the market. Wash, but don’t dry the leaves. In a hot pan, wilt spinach then stir in a couple tablespoons peanut butter, a squeeze of lemon juice, and a sprinkle of salt. A silky rich sauce magically appears, making a quick nutritious side dish that your family will love.
