FAVORITE CREAMED SPINACH
This recipe is made with a white sauce, and has lots of garlic in it. I came up with this recipe after making several other creamed spinach recipes that were overcooked, flavorless, and dull. I wanted something bright green, garlicky, and creamy. This is the only creamed spinach dish that my husband will eat now. Feel free to use all butter or all olive oil or substituting cream for the milk depending on your taste. I think this combination is big on flavor and cuts a lot of fat. I have even had success serving this dish to people who claim they do not like spinach. Enjoy!
