1 pound baby spinach

1 can white beans, such as cannellinis or navy

1-2 cloves garlic, chopped

1 lemon

salt and pepper

Extra virgin olive oil

Pour a small amount of EVOO in a fairly large pan over med-high heat. Gently sauté the garlic for a minute, then add the beans. Stir for another minute or two, being careful not to break them. Add the spinach and squeeze the lemon juice over (watch out for the seeds!). Season with salt and pepper and cook just until the spinach is wilted. The whole dish takes maybe 5 minutes and has only a splash of oil, making it a great lunch or side dish at dinner. Enjoy!

Roasted Peppers

This just might be the simplest thing you’ll ever see on a food blog.  But they are so flavorful and you can use them in such a variety of ways that once you make them you may just always want to have them in your fridge. I add them to sandwiches, quesadillas and, just like my grandmother did, love to eat them piled on a fresh-cut slice of French bread with a piece of Provolone cheese. Add a glass of wine and call it “dinner.”

Preheat oven to 250 degrees

6-8 Bell peppers, a variety of red, yellow and green works well

Extra virgin olive oil

Core and seed the peppers.  Slice the peppers fairly thin and arrange them on a baking sheet in a single layer.  Drizzle with olive oil and bake for a total of approximately 2 to 2 1/2 hours, stirring every 30 minutes or so.  Peppers will be slightly shriveled and darkened when done.  Salt and pepper to taste.  If you wash the peppers just before slicing, be sure to DRY them completely before putting them on the baking sheet or they will end up “steaming” in the oven.
