This is one I wrote down and used and I was very happy with the results. It's your basic creamed spinach and leaves plenty of room for additions like herbs, cheese, mushrooms,even the ever present bacon and/or ranch seasoning.

Instead of printing them out I usually copy & paste into AbiWord or a similar program. I have them in a separate folder called "Recipes", you can always print them out from there.

I also substituted the nutmeg and used garlic and onion instead. I also used one small jalapeno pepper for a little zest. My family loves it. OOOOOOOOOOOH IT'S SOOOOOOOOOO GOOD!

Why aren't these recipes printable anymore? Now all I'm getting is the Mr. Food Recipe Collection, the name of the recipe, then a blank page until the "OOH IT'S SO GOOD!!" What's happening?

What can I use in place of the heavy cream? Plain or vanilla yogurt?

If you want to decrease the fat in the recipe try half and half. They even make a fat free "half and half" that work well in most recipes.
