Anytime you tried to feed me spinach as a kid, I would probably just stare, try it, make a face, and painfully finish my portion. Now…I am the biggest spinach fan! Weird how time can change your taste buds..or maybe it just an adult thing. Who knows? But after becoming a spinach lover, I always liked to try and make different types of dishes with it. I mean of course you can make a salad, but what else? This creamed spinach is always like a spinach and artichoke dip, but well without the artichokes. It is just real good, and makes the perfect side dish to any meal.
