It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).

CRUST
1/2 cup crushed graham wafer crumbs
1/2 cup crushed vanilla wafer crumbs
1/4 cup ground almonds or crushed pecans
1/4 cup margarine
non-stick cooking spray
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
FILLING
8 ounces cream cheese
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1/2 cup lime juice, freshly squeezed
2 teaspoons grated lime zest
directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
CRUST: In a mixing bowl, combine wafer crumbs and almonds, mix well. Cut in margarine, using a pastry blender or a fork until mixture is crumbly.
In a 8" x 8" oven proof baking dish, spray bottom and sides with a vegetable spray. Sprinkle with flour and shake to lightly coat dish. Shake off any excess flour and discard.
Press wafer mixture firmly in bottom of dish. Place dish in the refrigerator or freezer portion for about 1/2 hour to chill.
FILLING: In a mixing bowl, using an electric mixer, beat softened cream cheese, sugar, egg and lime juice until smooth and creamy. Add lime zest and mix again. Pour mixture over chilled crust and spread evenly.
Bake in preheated 350 degrees F oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until cheese cake is set. Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack. Chill in refrigerator before cutting into squares.
If you wish to decorate the cheese cake squares, cut and place a 1/2 of a red or green Maraschino cherry in each square, or you may wish to use a small piece of lime or a fresh strawberry.

This was delicious. I used all low fat vanilla wafers and chopped pecans for the crust. I put a little whipped cream and a strawberry slice on top of each bar.
