in dog days

I am warming my toes in the warmth that is the double nap. Parker and eliza are both wheezy and hacky and doped up on steroids and ventolin. We are teetering on the brink of emergency room visits.
But, the sun did shine this morning for a few hours and we played in the vitamin d goodness before the rain began again.
Now, in the ultimate cruelty i have to go and wake them up so that we can go do the school pick-up thing.
Any ideas for a dinner i can make with 5 pounds of baby spinach that is almost past due? Or should i just give it to the chickens.
Oh! The chickens. Last night we had a thunder storm in our yard. We thought for a moment a plane was crashing – right here. The chickens were definitely phased by the ordeal. I'll post photos later.

Spinach- we love spinach here. My girls (4&6) will eat it up as long as it’s in the form of my famous cheesey spinach casserole. If yo hate onions, eggs and chedder cheese, then I’ll send you recipe :)

oh yes, yes! i love recipes. I have a cookbook fetish – i think mostly because i have a short attention span and i love to cook.

Me, I loves the spinach lasagne, with white (alfredo) sauce. Calls for some odd ingredients, though, unless you just run to the store for a jar of pre-made sauce and the cheeses.
