I started this blog so my daughters could find all of our family favourite recipes in one place. It has actually grown into more than just the family favourites but also other recipes we've tried out in our kitchen. I don't like to fill up the post with alot of chatter. Sometimes there's a little story to tell, but usually I like to get right to the point. So this is for them, but hope you find some recipes that you like as well. I'll be sharing a lot of recipes, and along the way you'll find some crafty things and maybe some helpful hints too! Welcome!

Mediterranean Garlic Spinach

So simple, yet so darn satisfying!



Ingredients:
3 cups spinach, packed
zest and juice of 1/2 a lemon
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp capers with their juice
black olives, about 12
salt and pepper

In a large pan heat the olive oil then add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the capers and black olives along with the spinach. Toss and cook 1-2 minutes until the spinach just begins to wilt.

Finish with the zest and juice of 1/2 a lemon and salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat. 

Serves 2

Had it alongside some leftover cooked spaghetti. Warmed the pasta and some cooked chicken in a pan with some olive oil, salt and pepper. Some of the spaghetti got a little crispy which I thought was yummy...my husband didn't think so though. He did however eat all his spinach!
