Spinach Feta Cheese Pie

This is the original recipe with my additions in parentheses.

1 pound spinach (I used frozen)
4 eggs (I used 6)
3 oz Feta (I used 6)
Pinch of garlic powder (I used a lot more)
Pinch of parsley (I used a lot more)
2 T olive oil

(I also added onions and mushrooms)

1. Preheat oven to 375
2. Fill a large pot 1/2 way with water and bring to a boil
3. Cook spinach until wilted, drain, let cool and slightly chop
4. Whisk eggs and feta together add garlic powder and parsley, stir in spinach
5. Pour in oiled 1 quart baking dish and drizzle 2 T oil over spinach mixture
6. Bake for 40 minutes (golden and sizzling)
7. Let cool 10 minutes before serving

(Basically it's a quiche. It's good!)

Popovers
I found this recipe in Nick Jr. Magazine, it's a really easy one to do with kids, and they turn out great!

Ingredients:
Cooking spray (like Pam)

3 large eggs or 4 medium eggs
2 Tablespoons butter melted
1 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup All-Purpose flour

Directions:
Spray muffin tin generously with Pam (they will stick if you don't use enough). Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Crack eggs in mixing bowl and beat with wire whisk. Add salt, milk, and melted butter and mix. Add flour and whisk until batter is smooth and without lumps. Fill muffin tin cups 3/4 way full. Bake at 450 degrees for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes lower oven temp to 350 degrees and continue baking for 15-20 more minutes or until popovers are golden brown and puffy. Do not open oven during baking time or the popovers will not "pop." Serve with butter and jam or syrup.
