THE PERFECT SIDE DISH FOR ANY MEAL!
Holidays and family get togethers are made for eating. With tables and plates piled high with traditional, calorie-dense and often nutritionally lacking foods, it’s easy to blow your ordinarily reasonable diet sky high. To offset some of that heavy fare without losing an ounce of holiday flavor, try my go-to spinach squares. Tons of flavor paired with nutrition-packed ingredients makes this dish a winner! I usually make 2 pans because they are just that good! Who knows, you might just start a new family tradition!
