Creamed Spinach

I always love creamed spinach at restaurants, but never thought about making them myself.  I saw this easy recipe from the Pioneer Woman and had to try it.  There are a lot of other fancier ways to make it, but this was easy and darn tasty.  A great way to eat your spinach I say (how could it not be with butter and heavy cream!) Try it today.. maybe next to a nice juicy steak hot off the grill (the weather has been gorgeous in Chicago so that means grilling time is here again!).
