Creamy Spinach – a healthy switch-a-roo

This one is a spin off on a “hungry-girl” classic. When I’m on a diet kick, I tend to get creative. I love Boston Market creamed spinach, but let’s face it – too much of that stuff and my butt will be the size of Utah. I guarantee that when you try this, there’s no way you’ll be able to tell it’s low cal/low fat and actually good for you. So get in all that delicious creamy, cheesy, hidden Vitamin K.  Plus, it’s really easy - you only use one bowl, and you make it in the microwave.

1 package of frozen spinach

2 wedges of Laughing Cow light (garlic & herb)

1 generous sprinkle of garlic salt

1 tablespoon fat free sour cream

1 tablespoon (a little less) grated parmesan

Thaw out the spinach in the microwave, and drain well (get in there and squish out all of that extra spinach juice) Add the rest of the ingredients and stir. Put back into the microwave until the sauce is melted and it’s nice and creamy.
