Spinach

Spinach is an abundant vegetable during the summer. Spinach can be utilized far beyond the basic spinach salad. Spinach is great for a pizza topping, to make a side dish , or even as a meat substitute. I personally love creamed spinach but am not a huge fan of frozen vegetables. When I eat at Bob's Chop House or Nick and Sam's, I always order the creamed spinach.  It is always so much better with fresh spinach. I am listing two simple spinach side dishes in this posting.

Creamed spinach
