Sun-dried Tomato Spinach Feta Bake

Last year with our CSA we had an abundance of spinach. And by abundance I mean 3-4 bushels a week, for just our little couple share! My goal was to find more and more recipes that included spinach that the whole family would eat. We discovered quite a few things like Apple Chicken Nuggets, Spinach Ricotta Gnocchi, and Turkey Lasagna Roll Ups. I was doing Weight Watchers last year and came across a recipe similar to this but decided to adapt it to our likings. By that I mean it needed to be hearty enough to satisfy both my boys. I hope you enjoy it as much as we have!
