I'll be trying this one! I'm inclined to cook the spinach briefly but this is MY kind of recipe! Quick, easy, and sounds delicious!

I make almost the exact same thing with Tilapia. In fact, sometimes I sautee a lot of the veggies ahead of time to add to what ever meat I am cooking for the family thru the week, including topping my eggs with it. Soooo yummy
