I made this for dinner last night and it was YUMMY!!! For something different I may add broccoli in with the spinach next time. This recipe came from a Kraft magazine...I did change a few things to make it healthier (less points). Kraft has an assortment of healthy recipes. Visit Kraft Foods and look around...you may find some other yummy recipes. ENJOY!!!
