Creamed Spinach Casserole
Ingredients:
3 10-ounce packages frozen spinach, thawed
1 cup low-fat milk
¼ cup all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon white or black pepper
⅛ teaspoon nutmeg
1 cup extra sharp Cheddar cheese, divided
1 cup low-fat cottage cheese
3 large egg whites
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat a shallow 2-quart baking dish with
cooking spray.
Press spinach in a mesh strainer to get out as much moisture as
possible. Pulse in a food processor until very finely chopped.
Combine milk, flour, salt, pepper and nutmeg in a large sauce-
pan. Cook over medium heat, whisking, until thickened, 2 to 4
minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in ½ cup Cheddar,
cottage cheese and the spinach.
Beat egg whites in a large bowl with an electric mixer, slowly
increasing the speed, until they begin to foam. Continue to beat
until the whites hold their shape; do not overbeat. (You'll know
they are ready when you lift the beaters out and the peak
doesn't flop over.)
Gently fold the whites into the spinach mixture with a rubber
spatula until uniform. (It's OK if a few white streaks remain.)
Transfer to the prepared baking dish.
Bake for 35 minutes. Top with the remaining ½ cup Cheddar;
continue baking until the cheese is melted, about 10 minutes
more. Let stand for 5 minutes
Health Benefits of Spinach
Low in fat and even lower in cholesterol, spinach is high in niacin and zinc, as well as protein, fiber, vitamins A, C, E and K, thiamin, vitamin B6, folate, calcium, iron, magnesi-um, phosphorus, potassium, copper, and manganese.

FREE technology & online safety course

Hosted at LCCOA in Troy by the Troy Buchanan
High School Technology Class and Mr. Hoskins.
Why We Have Seasons?
The tilt of Earth's axis, which is 23.5 degrees, allows the sun to hit certain parts of Earth
more directly. When it is winter for the northern hemisphere, it is summer for the southern
hemisphere. At this time of the year, the sun shines more directly on the southern hemi-
sphere, according to NASA. Without the tilt of Earth's axis, the equator and immediate
surrounding areas would get the most sun, and the northern and southern hemispheres
would be either hot or cold with the same temperature year-round. Earth's distance from
the sun does not affect the seasons. Instead, Earth's elliptical orbit means the planet is
closer to the sun during the northern hemisphere's winter.
The winter and summer solstices refer to the times of the year when Earth's axis points
towards or away from the sun, according to the National Weather Service. Some scien-
tists believe that a large object, called Theia, hit Earth when the planet was still young,
causing Earth to tilt and sending dust and rubble into orbit, states NASA.
What would happen if the Earth were tilted at 45 degrees?
An axial tilt of 45 degrees would bring more heat to bear on the hemisphere facing the
sun. More solar radiation would strike the temperate zones and the poles during summer,
and the equator would also be affected. During winter, the reverse would occur, with far
colder temperatures near the poles.
The cycle of day and night would also be affected. In the summer months of a given hem-
isphere, more of the planet would be perpetually on the day side, similar to how there are
bands near the poles that receive 24 hours of sunlight or nightfall depending on the sea-
son.
Earth would experience more severe weather patterns because of more drastic changes
in temperature, which causes forceful transfer of hot air to areas where cooler air exists.
Hurricanes, tornadoes, thunderstorms and floods would be more severe and cause more
damage. Earth's axis being tilted at 45 degrees, therefore, would
make life much less likely to thrive.
