My Take on Creamed Spinach

Ingredients:

• 1 box of frozen chopped spinach
• milk
• nutmeg
• salt
• pepper
• parmesan cheese
• butter

First, defrost and drain the spinach (I didn’t quite drain it completely when I made it…oops). Saute the spinach in a tablespoon or so of butter. Add a dash of salt, a sprinkle of pepper, and a nice dose of nutmeg (but not too much because I’ve heard that it can be toxic in large quantities – but you’s need a LOT to get anywhere close). Add some milk or heavy cream (maybe 1/2 – 1 cup or so) and as much or as little cheese as you want.

Now you may be thinking, “isn’t nutmeg used for apple pie?” Yes, but it also goes wonderfully with dark greens.
