SPINACH CASSEROLE 
1 lb. fresh spinach, or frozen and drained well
1 c. brown rice
1 c. water
1 to 1 1/2 c. milk
Salt to taste
1 tbsp. honey
2 med. eggs, beaten well
1/4 c. bread crumbs, plain or seasoned
2 tbsp. butter

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Rinse fresh spinach leaves and steam cook over moderate heat. Once leaves are limp, drain and chop fine. If frozen spinach is used, be sure to drain well. Set spinach aside.

Bring water to boil in small saucepan. Add rice and simmer until water is absorbed. Add 1 cup milk and continue to simmer until milk is absorbed. If rice is not cooked, add more milk and simmer until milk is absorbed and rice is done.

Combine rice, spinach, salt, honey and eggs. Mix well. Pour mixture into a greased casserole dish or 9x9 inch baking pan. Sprinkle with bread crumbs and dot with butter. Bake for 35-45 minutes.
