Sorry, I meant to put this up last night but my little man was super tired and I needed to get him in bed. Which was a huge ordeal, by the way ... I may post on it later and beg for advice.
Anyhow, I hope you enjoy this recipe ... I've made it twice and it is super yummy.

How heavy is in on the Spinach taste becuase I'm not into Spinach. but the rest sounds tasty...
You could certainly go light on the spinach ... just buy a smaller package of it and use that. We got a bigger package of spinach (just by one ounce, but still) and that was a little too much.
