You’ll love this easy creamed spinach recipe!

More or less, it’s the same recipe my mom used to make, ever since I was little.

Eating your veggies is very important (said every parent on the planet) and spinach helps you grow healthy and powerful. Just like Popeye the Sailor!

The only variation is using milk instead of plan water, so if you happen to be in the mood for spinach but don’t have any milk, you can go ahead and make the replacement.

I’ve always loved this easy creamed spinach recipe.

It’s really easy to prepare, it’s quick, and I assure you your kids will lick their plates!
