My family doesn't eat spinach. More specifically; my husband doesn't eat spinach. I haven't made many meals that include spinach. At least not when hubs is home.
Funny thing, I actually scheduled to make this on a night that he worked. He's also not too keen on eggs for dinner. I know, I know, you're asking yourself what I ever even saw in this guy!
Well, the schedule changed and he was indeed, home for dinner.
He loved it! He ate plenty and didn't complain once. See, he is a good guy. I did make him some fried ham to go along with it. That helped. :-)
I thought it was fantastic. I actually wish he hadn't been home as I would have had leftovers for breakfast! Is that wrong of me?
