Hi Elisa, I saw something recently on TV that looked appealing to me.
It looked appealing because it was a crock-pot recipe, that would free
up stovetop burners, the oven, and could be done way in advance. You
could have this cooked and bring the crockpot to the dinner to plug in
away from the busy kitchen to keep warm.

The TV host said it was a tried and true recipe, but I haven't tried
it, yet. It was a spinach dish that went something like this:

Creamy-cheesey Spinach dish

1) two packages of frozen spinach, thawed, water squeezed out

2) a lb. of American cheese, cubed (not Velveeta)

3) two cups of sm curd cottage cheese

4) 1/4 cup of flour

5) 3 eggs, beaten

6) salt and pepper, no other spices. She said she tried garlic and
other things, but the simplicity is the best part about this side
dish.

Grease the bottom and sides of crock pot. Add ingredients, stir to
mix, and cook on low for 4-5 hours.
