Spinach Soufflé Casserole

I have to start with O.M.G...lol

Lately I realized that I wasn't eating food that I loved. Since the surgery actually, I noticed that ALL foods that I loved pre-op that I could still eat post-op really tasted different, not as good and sometimes aweful.

I said to my mom from day 1 of my surgery that I was convinced that the surgeon, as he did my RNY, played with the tasting nerves affecting my brain so I won't like food anymore, hence losing the fun of "wanting" to eat...lmao. I'm silly that way! (Chris, don't comment on that lol).

So here I am trying to find easy recipes on the amazing SparkRecipe website, and found this Spinach Soufflé Casserole so I said what the heck and soooo glad I did. When I sat down for lunch today after the first bite, I thought, "finally a food that is good to the taste!".

So in case you are interested, here's the recipe, a photo of the dish and one of the nutrional value after inputting my ingredients into MyFitnessPal:

5 oz. of spinach (thawed and drained if from frozen which I did)
1 c. cottage cheese non-fat
1 c. Shredded double cheddar (next batch I will use skim to have less fat and calories)
4 egg whites
1 tbsp garlic powder

Mix all ingredients together and cook for 45 minutes at 350.

I have made 6 square cupcakes.

I hope you enjoy as much as I do!

Bonne appétit!
Nathalie
