Creamed Spinach – CEiMB
When I was a child, Popeye was the idol of the kids. He was strong and powerful and of course, he ate spinach. I doubt that had anything to do with own liking for spinach, yet it has been a favorite, my entire life. I grew up, knowing only creamed spinach and now spinach has become a staple, adding it to a multitude of dishes.
Despite Popeye, I have met many people who despise spinach and I can’t understand why. Is it the texture or the flavor?
Anyway, I was happy when Liz of The Not So Skinny Kitchen chose Creamed Spinach as our weekly recipe for CEiMB, Craving Ellie with Our Belly. http://cravingellieinmybelly.blogspot.com. It is a dish of memories, good memories.
This creamed spinach was delicious and I enjoyed it as a side. I would be glad to make it again.
For the recipe, stop at Liz’s blog and get it and many other delicious dishes. If you go over to CEiMB, you will find the other members and where to locate their Popeye food.

You are featured on Full Plate Thursday this week. If you don’t have your Red Plate feel free to stop by and pick it up, enjoy!
Oh, Chaya, I am so glad you were excited about this one! It seems most people were dreading it, so I’m glad someone was happy
Now I have the Popeye song stuck in my head!! Man, I haven’t watched that show in so long… I’m still not sure I’ll be eating canned spinach any time soon, but I do love it in most dishes. Thanks for cooking with me this week!
The only reason I ate spinach was because Popeye was strong when he ate it, and of course I wanted to be strong and kick butt lol. I was so a tom boy at that age lmao. Love this creamed spinach recipe. I adore spinach now so I will definitely be trying out this recipe.
Yum, Yum, Yum I love Spinach! Your recipe looks really good and we will really enjoy it. Thank you so much for sharing with Full Plate Thursday and hope to see you next week!
This is one of the few ways I will eat spinach!
I love creamed spinach! One of my favorite vegetable side dishes
I love spinach now, although as a kid, I’d have sooner leaped over a bridge than eat it. Your plate looks delicious, and I’d eat in a second!
Chaya I think your photos look good. And I loved Popeye as a child. STill do! I didn’t love this spinach however, but my husband did so all is good there. Have a great week.
We liked the recipe this week as well. It had so much taste and texture wasn’t in the least bit a turn off. Your photos look so bright and green. Wonderful!
Who doesn’t love Popeye? I also really enjoyed this, even though it was actually my first time trying creamed spinach!
