A delicious side dish that can’t be beat (in my mind anyway!) is creamed spinach with mushrooms. I have no idea how it is normally made, but my version is pretty quick and easy and a real crowd pleaser in our house. I recently served it as an accompaniment to the Gluten Free Chicken Fingers I made. It was a big hit.

mmm that sounds yummy. I can’t feed veggies fast enough for my daughter so I’m always looking for new ways to make them since I’m sick of steaming everything lol

Lol. We don’t have room for a steamer here, and our microwave one bit the dust. So I try and do veggies in interesting ways that everyone will like. :) Do let me know if you try it, as I’d love to know if it works for you, too! :)
