Sesame Broccoli, Red Pepper, and Spinach

This was so delicious! I got the recipe from Making the Cut by Jillian Michaels. My kids all gobbled it up too. Even Jason who said I ruined the recipe by adding the spinach and proceeded to separate the spinach from the broccoli and peppers, came back and gobbled up the spinach! I'll definitely be making a lot of this in the future.

Ingredients:
1 Tbsp sesame seeds
1 tsp canola oil
1 bunch broccoli, but into 1 inch florets
1 red bell pepper, cut into thin strips
1 garlic clove, minced
1 bag (10oz) washed spinach
1 small jalapeno pepper, seeded, finely chopped
1 Tbsp soy sauce
2 tsps sesame oil

Directions:
Toast sesame seeds in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, stirring until golden brown and fragrant. Transfer to a small bowl. Heat oil over medium heat in same skillet until hot. Add broccoli and red pepper; cook until broccoli is crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Add garlic, spinach, jalapeno, soy sauce, and sesame oil; mix well. Cover and cook until spinach is wilted, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.
