FENNEL SPINACH SAUTE
Spinach and fennel are two of my favorite veggies, so I'm always looking for new ways to use them. This is an amazing side dish, but if you slice the fennel a bit smaller, it also makes a great stuffing for chicken breasts or beef tenderloin. -Noelle Myers, Grand Forks, North Dakota

Steps:
- Working with one brussels sprout at a time, peel each individual leaf, starting from the outside and working toward the middle. Continue to peel until you get to the tough core where it is just too tight to pull any more leaves. Discard the core and put the leaves in a big bowl. Repeat with the remaining brussels sprouts.
- Over medium heat, warm the olive oil in a large frying pan. Add all of the brussels leaves and sauté for about 30 seconds. Add the vinegar and maple syrup and toss to coat. Add the spinach to the pan and toss until it is just barely wilted. It is better just slightly underdone in this case, as it will continue to cook in its own heat.
- Sprinkle with the salt and Marcona almonds and serve immediately.

SAUTE SPINACH WITH GARLIC
Recipe from Martha Stewart. I am not an avid Martha fan, but this spinach dish is fragrant with garlic, but without the fat, and easy. I think it's better than spinach salad because you don't even have to dry them and comparing with with the calories you get with salad dressing, this "sauted" spinach is practically calorie-free!

Tips:
- Choose the freshest spinach possible. Look for leaves that are deep green and crisp, with no signs of wilting or yellowing.
- Wash the spinach thoroughly before cooking. This will remove any dirt or grit that may be clinging to the leaves.
- Don't overcook the spinach. Spinach cooks very quickly, so it's important to keep an eye on it and remove it from the heat as soon as it's wilted.
- Season the spinach to taste. Salt, pepper, and garlic are all classic seasonings for spinach, but you can also add other herbs and spices to your liking.
- Serve the spinach immediately. Spinach is best enjoyed fresh, so don't let it sit around for too long before serving.
