Yummy

We have a great garden this year of sugar-snap peas, baby carrots and spinach. (keeping it simple) But the spinach is coming out our ears! My kids love to pick it, but eating it-not so much! We give it to neighbors, friends, teachers. Spinach Lasagna, spinach salad, frozen spinach! Spinach in everything I could think of and still it is growing! So I went to allrecipes.com and and typed in "more spinach than I can handle but my family loves bacon". Great search title. It gave me this yummy recipe. I made it with wild rice and even Jack liked it! (Joy, I would bring you a big plate of it, if it sounded any good to your pregnant tummy!) It went fast, which might just keep up with our supply.
