Creamed Spinach

 

Creamed Spinach is a favorite side dish. Easy to make and better than any restaurant dish!

 

Creamed Spinach

 

 

When I was in elementary school they would give us spinach and we had to eat it before we could out to recess. We all would stuff it in our milk carton and go on our merry way!

 

It has taken a few years for me to appreciate spinach because of this.
 It was my son’s Zac’s birthday a couple of weeks ago and it’s a tradition at our house for the birthday person to pick what they want for their special dinner.

 

I always tease that Zac is my favorite because he came three weeks early! He loves to try new things and he knows that I’m always trying to come up with new ideas for the blog, so he tries to help.

 

Again, he trying to take care of his mom! so when Zac told me he wanted cream spinach, I wasn’t so sure I was going to love it but you know what??? This is so amazing! We all loved it!!!!
