"Food, like a loving touch or a glimpse of divine power, has that ability to comfort." -Norman Kolpas, Author
Even when you don't like spinach, creamed spinach is good. To me it's great comfort food. The bitterness that you might not like about cooked spinach is balanced well with the creaminess of the cheese, and the nutmeg adds just the right touch of aromatic spice.
