it's the day before grocery shopping day... so we have a little of this and a little of that. but not a whole lot of one thing for a side dish. so I decided to get a little bit creative with our spinach.

for leftovers... if you have any. the next morning I used the leftovers for a post-run breakfast. I heated a tablespoon of olive oil in a small skillet... and slowly warmed up 1 cup of original recipe. to that I added 1/4 cup shredded ham and warmed that up... then cracked 1 large egg in and fried it all together for several minutes. plated it up with 1/4 cup of my favorite diced tomatoes and green chilies for a lil kick. just... YUM!
