SPINACH CREAM CHEESE BAGELS
This is one of my favorite special lunch recipes or a recipe for a meatless meal!
1- 10 ounce frozen spinach
Tomato slices
Provolone cheese
salt and pepper
Cook spinach in microwave. Squeeze out excess water. Stir in cream cheese until well blended. If cream cheese is too hard, microwave for a few seconds to soften. Add salt and pepper to spinach mixture. Open bagels and spread on a cookie sheet. Top bagels with some spinach cream cheese, a tomato slice and a slice of cheese. Bake in oven at 350 for around 10 minutes until hot and the bagel is a little crispy.

HOMEMADE RACK-O NUMBER GAME
I was looking to buy the game Rack-O and could not find it. My son and I tried a few things and came up with this homemade version that is just the cost of clothespins and a few paper plates.
First, we numbered clothespins from 1-60. You want to make sure that only one side is numbered. We decided to write the numbers on top of each other for easier viewing.
Then, we took 4 heavy duty paper plates and drew 10 lines evenly spaced across the top half.
We put a star on the first line and drew an arrow to show start to finish. The lower cards start at the star.
We put the clothespins in a small basket where the extra clothespins would attach easily. I thought a coffee can might work here, too.
Instead of dealing cards to start the game, each player draws one pin at a time and clips it to their plate starting at the star until you have ten.
We clipped one pin to the basket to start. The first player has the option of taking the pin on the edge or drawing one from the basket. Each player either takes the last pin placed on the basket or draws one to start their turn. A pin must be discarded each turn.
You can play this game with 2-4 players. This game is ideal for kids between 5-10. The object of the game is to get your pins in ascending order from low to high across your plate. A player calls Rack-O when they have this completed.
