Creamed Spinach (Low-fat; Low-carb!)

I've said it before, and I'll say it again (probably more than once), not many things are more comforting than those that are warm and creamy. If you're like me, the chillier the weather, the more comfort you need. But I don't want to skip my veggies. When the need for comfort comes a-knockin', I grab some spinach and whip up a batch of my low-fat, low-carb Creamed Spinach. Try it with your next meal for a dose of warm goodness and some vitamins, too. Do you have a veggie favorite to share? Drop us a line at thesoutherndish@gmail.com.
