Maple-Glazed Sausage with Wilted Spinach and Brown Rice

Last night, I cooked maple sausage w/spinach and brown rice.  I really like this recipe and the flavors work well together!  This is the second or third time I have cooked it and really like it.  I honestly can say I did not eat spinach often, but I will cook this recipe when I receive spinach from my local Bountiful Baskets.  Ashlyn does not like the spinach as much, but both Jakob and Roland have both wolfed it down which really surprised Jeff and me.  My one recommendation is to really watch the time on the spinach.  The first time I really wilted it quickly and have turned the heat down dramatically the last time I cooked it. Enjoy!
