i only added 16 oz. but it still turned out quite well...thank you -
Can the fat and calorie count on this be right?!! I sure hope so, because I'm on a diet and loved having bacon and cheese and milk......things I really shouldn't be having! This is delicious. I halved the recipe, and my serving size was 1/4 of that, but have no fear, I'll take care of the leftovers!!! Thanks for sharing! -
I followed instructions as listed for a scaled down to 2 serving recipe and this was fantastic.The amount of lemon is perfect in here. Thanks for sharing a lovely side recipe. Made this for The Scandinavian Kitchen tag at KK's -
Really tasty recipe. I used fresh silverbeet (Swiss Chard) in stead of spinach. Made for Aussie / Kiwi Swap # 42. July 10 -
This was a really nice take on creamed spinach. The lemon juice and zest gave it an added dimension that was delicious! I will be making this again. It was pretty easy, too! Thanks for sharing this.

I'm just me, mother, grandmother...friend to many and a Louisianian. My Cajun and French Quarter Italian descent afforded me exposure to some of the best of foods. My passions are my family, decorating, cooking and gardening. Those very passions push me into constant awareness with always looking for something new to delight the senses, thus my favorite idiom...Inspire me, puuuullllllleeeeeeease! ...and I mean it, too. God Bless America!
