  1. This was excellent...very fast and very tasty. I used a 10oz bag of frozen spinach that I microwaved before I put into the creamy sauce. Also, I used a mix of Parmesan and mozzarella cheeses versus the cheddar, which was just a personal preference. I didn't have cream on hand, so I mixed a bit of milk into sour cream as a substitute. This worked well. Thank you for posting this recipe!
     
  2. Very quick and easy way to prepare spinach. I forgot to use the butter, but it still tasted yummy. I really enjoyed the flavors of the Laughing Cow cheese and the cheddar cheese. I had this as a side to Recipe #113787.

I live in Groton CT and work part time as a kindergarten aide. My husband and I are low carb eaters and are always trying new recipes. I love Dana Carpenders 500 recipes book. We love to travel as a family and enjoy cruising the Carribean. That's where you'd find me if I could afford it! My newest passion is looking for that perfect photo shot and learning digital photography. Check out a couple of our recent shots listed with my picture.
