    Creamed Spinach - Andrea Meyers

    This creamed spinach is heavenly. Wonderful comfort food and a kid pleaser! My kids wolf this down and ask for seconds. We eat this with just about any Cajun dish, but it’s also good with pasta dishes, and we love it with ham or turkey at holiday meals. For more variety, I sometimes add 4 ounces of mushrooms and sauté them with the onion and garlic.

      Great, I'm so glad you liked it! We had it with our Christmas dinner this year (ham, fried apples, etc), and my boys kept asking for more (and I still didn't manage to snap a photo for this post.) 🙂
