I made this recipe as a little snack for DD. I don't know what she thinks of it but I grabbed a couple on my way out the door to go to work and I think they're terrific. I'll definitely be making this again. I made a couple of changes to the recipe. There was fresh spinach in the fridge that needed to be used up so I steamed it in the microwave, squeezed out the excess moisture once it cooled down and chopped it up in place of the frozen spinach and I used fresh garlic rather than garlic powder. Thanks for sharing.
