Cheesy Warm Spinach Dip

GREAT for drop-in holiday guests! If you can thaw the spinach in your microwave and drain in a hurry, you can literally throw this dip together in minutes with a guest present while you talk over the kitchen counter. :-) Served with bread, it's hearty enough to be a mini-meal.

It's almost as fine as white flour, but still has a subtle nutty taste of a whole grain. Available in health food stores, the natural sections of some supermarkets or at
