That sounds good and healthy too! I believe I have all the ingredients too. I'll be making this, this weekend with Mama's sticky chicken. Yummmmm

You don't even need to thaw or drain the spinach..... I've been buying the family sized bags and throwing in handfuls.... which is awesome because I think thawing and squeezing it is one of the kitchen prep tasks I hate the most!

Cool, thanks for that tip! I agree, I hate having to do that too.
