I Did It My Way Creamed Spinach Recipe #116296
Another favorite recipe from Carol Gelles' 1,000 Vegetarian Recipes' cookbook. Try to use the freshest baby spinach you can find. Pre-packaged baby spinach is ideal as it is already picked over and rinsed. To cut down on the fat content use stock in place of all of the half and half cream. My addition to the spinach mixture is the freshly grated nutmeg, hence the name of this recipe.
