garlicky creamed spinach
(1 rating)
Creamed spinach is my husband's favorite side dish. However, due to health problems he was forced to drastically cut almost all fat out of his diet. Most creamed dishes contain high fat levels but this recipe dramatically cuts the fat as well as the sugar contents. The nutritional benefits of spinach are exceptional and it is one of the best antioxidant and anti-inflammatory foods you can eat. We are very happy with this dish and love to eat it often.
