While sheltering in place I was able to cross quite a few items off of my to-do list. One task was organizing all of the recipes I had amazed through the years including clippings from magazines and newspapers, and recipes jotted down by friends. Recently, as I pulled some spinach from the freezer to thaw, Grace proclaimed “you’re making spinach squares!” Though that spinach was destined for another application, I knew where to find the recipe. A favorite way to sneak veggies into preschoolers when the kids were young, I have created a gluten-free version of their childhood favorite.
