"This is like creamed spinach, only you add the mushrooms too. So good! This can be made gluten free and dairy free."

ingredients

1 bunch spinach (or other greens) or 1 bunch swiss chard (or other greens)
2 -4 tablespoons refined coconut oil (or olive oil but NOT EVOO) or 2 -4 tablespoons butter, divided (or olive oil but NOT EVOO)
1 small onion, chopped
2 cups mushrooms, sliced (preferably bellas)
¹⁄₄ cup flour or 1/4 cup gluten-free flour
4 ounces cream cheese, room temperature (or tofutti better than cream cheese)
1 1 cup coconut milk or 1 cup almond milk
¹⁄₂ teaspoon salt
¹⁄₄ teaspoon pepper
¹⁄₄ teaspoon garlic powder

directions

Steam the greens (remove from the stem, if applicable, and tear in to bite size pieces) in a steamer until tender. Should only take a few minutes.
Meanwhile, melt 2 T of oil in a large skillet (I use a cast iron one) and saute the onions and mushrooms until soft. Remove to a platter.
If you need more oil, add up to 2 tablespoons more. Add the flour and stir until thick and slightly browned. Add the cream cheese and stir, breaking up until it is mixed into the flour mixture.
Add the coconut milk and seasonings and stir until combined and thick.
Add back in the reserved mushrooms and onions and the greens. Stir and warm through.

I am a Christian wife and mother of 3 kids. Since my DH's high cholesterol, we've been eating better. I never used to like cooking. Since eating better, I've liked learning and preparing new recipes. My kids haven't reconciled themselves to the new eating yet. I grind my own grain and make all my own breads.?Working 2 hours a day in the local high school lunch room.??I am homeschooling my high schooler.? ?Also found out 1 child has multiple food allergies (wheat, dairy, tomato, chocolate, etc) and another is gluten sensitive. So, we just started (July 09) eating gluten and dairy free. I've been busy with getting our house market ready, even though it's not the best time for that.?
