This is my all-time favorite side-dish. It goes great with every meal and is so healthy! The spinach really cooks down so kids won't even know it's there. If the kids are picky just use a bag of corn in place of the mixed veggies.
2 teaspoons olive oil
4 cups baby spinach (I don't measure, I just grab 4 huge handfuls of spinach. You can't put too much spinach into this recipe and it cooks down into very little)
1 cup grape tomatoes, halved
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 package frozen mixed veggies, thawed (pretty much any combo of veggies is delicious if you want to mix it up. A bag of frozen corn works great or using the stir-fry Costco mix is also really good)
In a large saucepan, heat 2 teaspoons olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the thawed veggies and cook about five minutes, until warmed through.
Slice up the spinach into fine strips and add to the veggies. Cook until spinach is wilted, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes and cook until softened, 1 to 2 minutes. If it is watery, let it cook until the water has evaporated.
Season with the salt and pepper. Serve warm, cold, or at room temperature.
