Submitted by Girl from India

"I love spinach as you can see! :) So try different stuff with it as I buy a whole load of the green when I go shopping. My family complains as spinach will appear on the menu in different forms for days together. But those are my days then and I AM providing them with good nutrition am I not !!!! This recipe is adapted from a recipe I got online. Enjoy!"

This was so good! I did make a few changes. I used crescent roll dough. I only used half the spincach because there wasn't quite as much dough. I also added more cheddar cheese. I used parsley and didn't use the egg wash, just brushed milk on it. Delicious! Thanks Fay!

Yummy! I used refrigerated pizza dough in a tube. Usually I won't go near the stuff, but for this recipe it worked very well. I did not use the red pepper or fresh herbs, but I used a generous shake of Italian seasoning. Dh wants me to add some mushrooms next time. I used fresh parmesean and it was excellent! Flaky and tasty; very upscale tasting. Thanks!!
