Spinach with Toasted Pine Nuts
I grew up eating spinach out of a can, loaded with white vinegar, and I loved it. I now buy fresh spinach, but I still love it with the zing of vinegar, lemon juice, or both! I made this spinach with toasted pine nuts recipe to pair with an Italian steak with balsamic tomatoes, a Duchess potato casserole, and some crusty bread for dinner. It was a delicious and healthy dinner that my whole family devoured.
