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.

Ingredients

- 2 Tablespoons cream cheese
- 1 Tablespoon chives

- Fry until the onion is soft and translucent and the mushrooms are soft and spongy.

- Cook for about five minutes. All the while, the spinach should be breaking up and integrating with the rest of the dish.

- Just before it is done, add in the cream cheese and the chives, stirring over a low heat until the cheese has totally melted and dispersed into the rest of the dish.
- Serve immediately.
