How to Cook Fresh Spinach

Fresh Baby Spinach is so tasty and absolutely good for you.  Fresh vegetables just take so much better than out of the can.  My godchild told me she wanted Spinach with supper.  I said okay we’ll cook some.  Little did I know she only likes Popeye spinach out of a can.  Wow kids!  What can I say?  At least she eats spinach, and fresh broccoli and cauliflower.
