3 cheese spinach bake

[Barbde]

MOG you should like this one! The recipe is from Dana Carpenders 500more Low Carb Recipes and I have posted following the pictures.
I used fresh spinach. I halved the recipe, because..... I didn't want to use up all my spinach again! And I didn't have ANY cream cheese! I can't believe that! Anyway, I used mascarpone in place of the cream cheese. I grated Sharp Cheddar. Other than that I followed the recipe. Pretty much LOL. Anyway... it is GONE. Next time I'll make the full batch so I can have leftovers.

Here with roasted chicken breast and mashed cauliflower and gravy.

Re: 3 cheese spinach bake

You're hosting it on photobucket, which automatically shrinks images which are over a certain size.

Re: 3 cheese spinach bake

I like her books too Lynne.
Here's the Mashed cauliflower recipe. From her first 500 recipes book.

FAUXTATOES DELUXE

1 large head cauliflower
1/3 cup cream
4 ounces cream cheese
1 T butter
salt and pepper

1. Simmer the cauliflower in water with the cream added to it. When cauiflower is very soft drain thoroughly.

2. Put the still warm cauliflower in a food procesor with the cream cheese, butter and salt and pepper to taste and process til smooth. (I have a blender that I use for this, and I have to do it in more than one batch).

Yield: 6 generous servings, each with 6 grams of carbs and 2 grams of fiber, 4 grams of protein.

Re: 3 cheese spinach bake

I have a question, Did you squeeze all the fluid out of the spinach before you assymbled the cassarole?

[Barbde]

Re: 3 cheese spinach bake

I did squeeze it, but not as much as I 'COULD' have. And I think maybe using the cream cheese would thicken it up as well, but I didn't have any . It's another one of those that thickens as it sits, too.

Photobucket is weird, sometimes it shrinks stuff and sometimes it doesnt' I've had that problem too Barb.
