Sautéed spinach ::: lemon and sugar-glazed cashews

In a two-person home, being a Costco fanatic is an art. One of the grocery items we like to buy is a giant bag of spinach. It probably weighs 10 pounds and stays fresh for at least 2 weeks.

We use it for salads, omelettes and juices. One of my favorite ways to use up massive quantities of spinach is to sautee it.

In a large skillet, place 3 hand fulls of spinach (this recipe serves about two people). Sprinkle juice of half a lemon on top and a few drops of olive oil. Sautee spinach until slightly wilted. Optional to add a pinch of garlic powder at this point. Then plate.

On the plate, sprinkle with crushed sugared cashews (also available at costco in 180 calorie snack packs) and salt and pepper. Enjoy!

Note: you can make a million variations of this recipe. For example instead of cashews consider salted peanuts or pine nuts. Instead of lemon consider butter and mushrooms. The sky is the limit!
