I also got this one from the now only-online Kraft magazine. Made ahead for Christmas morning many years ago, and it was like a gift to myself! SO delicious that all of my picky eaters ate. We had it gone that day. (I love it so much that when it's in my home, I will eat it for every meal til it's gone; my ULTRA-comfort food). **ONE SMALL change: I use broccoli instead of spinach; (because I don't want to deal with grit nor kid complaints and one actually likes broccoli; the other didn't notice!) Food that all of us will eat, and that I personally love, is a very rare thing. This is just exactly that. Yes it's that good!
