Italian Spinach Pie...Foodie Friday...

Thanks to Gollum at Design by Gollum for hosting another fun Foodie Friday. Please go on over to see some delicious recipes this week.

Watching your weight? Well, this recipe not only fits the South Beach diet Phase 1, 2, & 3, but also fits a Weight Watchers diet. It converts to 4 points. I don't know about you, but I can only eat cereal and oatmeal for breakfast for just so long before going bonkers. I am not a breakfast person, but I have learned that eating breakfast jump starts my metabolism for the day. The best part of this recipe is that I love the versatility of this one bowl recipe which can be served at breakfast, lunch or dinner. It reheats in the microwave in a New York minute. I have served this to guests and they all agree the recipe is tasty and filling. They could not believe it is only 170 calories per serving.
