    From freezehappy.com I have adjusted and removed some ingredients to lighten it up. My husband and I really liked this one and my husband doesn't like spinach. Serve as a side dish to accompany healthy grilled chicken or as its own vegetarian dish. You can definitely play around with the cheeses you use...try pizza blend, Mexican blend or any other cheese your family likes. And what could get kids to eat their spinach like lacing it with various cheeses?

    Ingredients

    • 1 (10 oz.) package frozen spinach (thawed then hand squeezed dry to remove excess moisture)
