Thanks to Caryn from Manalapan, NJ for passing along this sage
advice:

By following the simple advice I heard on a Dr. Phil Show, I have
finally found inner peace. Dr. Phil proclaimed the way to achieve
inner peace is to finish all the things you have started. So I looked
around my house to see things I started and hadn't finished; and,
before leaving the house this morning I finished off a bottle of
Merlot, a bottle of Chardonnay, a bottle of Baileys, a bottle of
Kahlua, a package of Oreos, a pot of coffee, the rest of the
cheesecake, some saltines, and a box of Godiva chocolates.

Here's another meatless casserole that does double duty as an
entree or side dish.

Spinach Casserole

1 Tbs (15 ml) olive oil
2-4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 lbs (900 g) fresh spinach
A grating of fresh nutmeg
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
4 eggs
1/4 cup (60 ml) heavy cream
1/4 cup (60 ml) bread crumbs
2 Tbs (30 ml) butter

Heat the oil in a large skillet over moderate heat and saute the
garlic for 1 minute. Add the spinach, nutmeg, salt, and pepper
and cook covered until the spinach is wilted, about 3 minutes.
Beat the eggs with the cream in a bowl and add the spinach,
stirring to combine. Transfer to a greased baking dish, sprinkle
with bread crumbs, dot with butter, and bake in a preheated 425F
(220C) until lightly browned, about 20 minutes. Serves 4 to 6.
