Spinach and Potato Sauté





mmmmmmm.....I am eating this while blogging it....it is really yummy, and so healthy.  I got the recipe from world's healthiest foods site, and modified the spices a bit to the ones that I like, and added fresh red potatoes from my parent's garden.  Really am loving it.  I paired it with brown rice mixed with quinoa, barley and buckwheat.  If feels satisfying, nourishing and warm.  So get you healthy on!!!
