Being Green is NOT Just Recycling!!!

Eating green is another way of being green! Yesterday I made a gravy out of the leftover vegetable stock. It was really tasty. What a tasty way to recycle something healthy. Another way to be green is by cooking with something green. I hope you enjoy this delicious low fat green (color) recipe for Creamed Spinach!

ENJOY!!!!

Creamed Spinach

Ingredients
1 head garlic, top end cut off
1 spray olive oil cooking spray
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 large sweet onion, sliced (recommended: Vidalia)
1 (10-ounce) box frozen spinach, defrosted and drained
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 cube vegetable boulion dissolved in one and a half cups water
3 tablespoons light cream cheese
1 teaspoon butter
1/2 lemon , juiced
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Preheat oven 350 degrees F.

Place garlic on a piece of aluminum foil and lightly spray the garlic with olive oil cooking spray once. Wrap aluminum foil around the garlic to form a tight package. Roast for 45 minutes. Once garlic is cool enough to handle, remove from aluminum foil and set aside.
In a nonstick 10-inch saucepan, heat 1 teaspoon olive oil over medium-high heat. Add onions and saute until translucent, about 1 1/2 minutes. Add spinach and nutmeg and saute for 1 minute. Add chicken broth and bring to simmer; simmer for 1 minute. Pour mixture into a food processor, and then squeeze the garlic cloves from the head of roasted garlic, discarding the skin. Add all remaining ingredients. Pulse until creamy. Serve warm.
