Spinach Bars and Molasses Crinkles

My mom and I had a Dining for Women dinner last night and we had to bring a dish. By we, I of course mean me. So I decided to try my hand at Spinach Bars...what goes best with that? Molasses Crinkles! Yes, it may be an odd combination but they were served at different times so it worked!  The spinach bars are basically a spinach quiche without the crust. Surprises of surprises it was a hit at the dinner! One woman even said she would hire me to cook for her. Possible career change? No, probably not, but it does means that my hubby won't have to cook all the time.
My mom came home while I was making the molasses crinkles and was shocked that I was still making them. They take about 10 minutes to cook. We only had 45 minutes before the dinner! She decided that we might be able to make them in time :) I couldn't seem to get a uniform size from the cookies.

I tried to make them smaller but  then the very next one would be about 2x the size! Oh well, I'll just have to cook some more to get more practice.
When I told my hubby that my food was a hit, he said he always knew I could cook with a recipe, especially when it didn't involve heating water. No risk of burning it (yes, that really happened!).

Until next time, craftily yours!
