Fake It at Home!

Diary-
As I stood in front of the stove this evening in my work out attire and sneakers ready for my walk to prep for my St Thomas trip in only 55 DAYS I found myself not walking out of the door. Yes I used the excuse that the storm had really rolled in quick and I was not able to get out- all the time knowing damn well that the ONLY reason was that the creamed spinach I made was way too good to walk away from! :( Oh Diary I was supposed to be getting my fitness on so that I'm lookin all jazzy on the white sand beaches of the tropics... instead I scarfed down way more than a single serving of creamy, cheesy spinach. GREAT....
Anyway here is an easy, quick and CHEAP way to make fancy creamed spinach at home!

Instead of Working Out Creamed Spinach
1 10oz frozen package of spinach leaves ( defrosted and drained )
1 container of garlic and herb aloutte ( found in the dairy section
)
1 tsp ground nutmeg

Combine the spinach and aloutte cheese in a saucepan and heat until the cheese is melted, about 3 minutes
Sprinkle with nutmeg and stir until well combined



That's it! So good- tonight I had it with panko crusted tilapia and oven roasted ugly tomatoes...ugly tomatoes aren't ugly- just not a perfect round globe... lesson of the day!
Now I gotta go do some leg lifts or something because you know my butt is not going to wake up early to get my fitness on!
