My mother gave me Moosewood Restaurant Simple Suppers, and I think it may be the best Moosewood cookbook yet. Each recipe is beautifully illustrated and easy. Some reviewers trashed it on Amazon - they were upset that no caloric value was listed - but do you really want to know that, anyway? Whenever they do that, I find myself skimming over the more fattening recipes, and possibly missing out.

Anyway:

Spinach Cheese Burritos

5 tortillas (7 or 8 inches)
3 cloves garlic, peeled and chopped
1 bunch scallions, chopped
10 oz baby spinach
1 tsp coriander
1 generous pinch nutmeg
1 small slice of cream cheese (I used Neufchatel)
2 c sharp cheddar cheese
1 T canola oil

Preheat the oven to 375. Put the tortillas on a baking sheet (it's ok if they overlap) and place them in the oven for a few minutes, so they won't crack when you roll them.

Saute the garlic and scallions in the oil over medium heat for 2-3 minutes. Add the spinach and cook until wilted. Stir in the nutmeg, coriander, cheddar cheese and cream cheese. Take off the heat.

Prepare the tortillas by placing a scoop of filling on the lower half of each tortilla, rolling it up and folding the edges over. Place the tortillas seam side down in an oiled 9 X 13 pan. Spray the burritos lightly with oil. Cover with foil and cook for 20-25 minutes (15 minutes if you have a fast oven).

D received several ducks: a floating one with a glass in his back, a small orange one and a little one with a magnetic croquet...if you put it in the tub and wave the croquet, it will follow you...like an imprinted duck. My nephew also made us a snowman and penguin out of crafty bits and pieces.
