Steps:
- Heat the oil in a medium saute pan or skillet (not nonstick) over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes (do not let the garlic brown). Push the garlic off to the side of the pan and add the mushrooms. Increase the heat to medium high and season the mushrooms with salt and pepper to taste. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are cooked through and begin to become golden in spots, 10 to 12 minutes.
- Add the spinach, sprinkle with an additional pinch of salt and turn with tongs until wilted. (If you can't fit all the spinach in the pan, cover it for a few minutes, then uncover, stir and add the rest.) Transfer to a serving platter, drizzle with the vinegar and serve warm.

MY FAVORITE SPINACH PINWHEELS
Necessity is the mother of invention. I always have spices and herbs on hand but never have mixes. Lots of recipes for Spinach Pinwheels calls for ranch mix and such. These are also purely vegetarian as there is no bacon or bacon bits included. The best part is these can be prepared the night before and make great presentation at your next get-together! Enjoy.

Steps:
- To make Mushroom Filling:.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion; cook 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Add mushrooms; cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, garlic salt and black pepper. Remove from heat; drain any excess liquid. Let cool.
- Combine 2/3 cup flour, undissolved yeast and salt. Heat water, milk and olive oil until very warm (120º to130ºF). Gradually add to flour mixture. Beat 2 minutes at medium speed of electric mixer, scraping bowl occasionally. Stir in enough remaining flour to make a soft dough. Knead on lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 8 to 10 minutes. Cover; let rest 10 minutes.

Mix egg white with water; brush on all sides of dough. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Cut into 12 equal portions. Place, cut sides up, on greased baking sheet. Cover; let rise in warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
- Bake at 375ºF for 20 to 25 minutes or until done. Serve warm.
