What's on your plate?

Ahhh.... Spinach green and Red Series 7 chairs....
like they were made for each other
I am always curious about what people are eating and preparing for themselves.  I grew up in a house where everything was homemade and fresh and was completely envious of friends eating anything pre prepared or processed.  Yes I know, envious of Hamburger Helper, Say it ain't so!....but for me THAT was exotic!  As an adult with many friends who are Chefs, I noticed that they often times are not the same culinary snobs they are in their restaurants... and I have personally witnessed some of the greatest chefs crack open a box of mac n cheese.  So I am not alone in my guilty pleasures, and so this little hobby of culinary curiosity has inspired me to, from time to time, share with you what I am cooking and hopefully you will share with me what you are making...so now about this dish, which is on the healthy side...

There is something about spinach that I can't explain... there are many hater's out there I know, but I am not one of them... for me, one of the most elegant and delicious of comfort foods is the simplicity of this homemade dish.  I have lightly sauteed (warmly wilted) spinach in extra virgin olive oil and garlic. Once finished, I do a quick drizzle of fresh lemon and crown the top with freshly grated parmigiano reggiano.  So simple, yummy and so quick that this dish will go from table to stove in under 15 minutes!
