Please help.
Answers: I need a change. I cook the same old stuff all the time. Burritos, tacos, lasgna, spaghetti, baked maccaroni and cheese, bbq ribs, baked chicken, eggs with cheese...that's about it....I am not a fan of onions but I do cook with them sometimes. Bell peppers are yucky too. I don't do spicy.
Please help.

Spinach Pies (Similar to Greek Spanakopita)
These are very delicious and ridiculously simple to make. You can make them as spicy or mild as you like and can improvise by adding mushrooms, onion, ham, herbs or whatever you like. I use crushed pepper because I like them a wee bit spicy.
2 boxes frozen chopped spinach
1/3 cup feta cheese, can also use parmesan or minced swiss bits
TEENY sprinkle of dried, crushed red pepper (the hot kind, not bell pepper)
3 cans of crescent roll dough with 8 servings per can
1 egg, slightly beaten
Thaw spinach and sqeeze out excess liquid. Put spinach in a medium mixing bowl and add feta cheese and crushed pepper (use a very small amount, like 1/8 teaspoon or less if you don't like it spicy.) Mix together all ingredients with a fork until well blended.
Unroll crescent dough and using 2 triangles, press together to seal the seam between them to make a rectangular piece. Repeat this process with remaining dough, you should have 12 finished rectangles. Place 6 dough rectangles on an ungreased cookie sheet, top with a scoop of spinach filling, then press another triangle on top pushing all seams and corners together to seal it like a pie (or pasty). Repeat with remaining dough and filling. Bake in oven according to directions on dough container (generally about 375 for 9-12 minutes). You can bush each pie with a little beaten egg for a nice golden crust before putting it in the oven. This will make six tasty pies.
