Spinach Pie

My brother in law Brad came to visit Monday night and was excited to eat "your food." He was excited to see we were having roasted salmon drizzled with honey, roasted asparagus and spinach pie. He was afraid he was not going to get any meat :) What people often miss out on with "meat and potatoes" centered meals is that vegetables are delicious! This spinach pie is a perfect example! As you can see from the photo of what was left, it was a hit! I buy our spinach from Sam's Club. Our local Sam's Club has a 1 lb container of organic spinach for less than four dollars. That is an amazing deal!
