Recipes 18,19, and 20: Easy Cheesy Creamed Spinach, Skinny Garlic Mashed Potatoes, and Turkey Cutlets w/ Parmesan Crust

I feel so accomplished. This is the first time I have attempted three completely new dishes in the same meal and they all came out great!

I make fabulous mashed potatoes but they have more butter and milk than this skinny version and the family couldn't tell the difference...hahaha!

The turkey cutlets were another mark down find marked down from $6.99 to $2.99!! Gotta love it.

Easy Cheesy Creamed Spinach

Eating Right recipe courtesy of Safeway

• 2 tbsp butter
• 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup milk (I used skim)
• 1/4 tsp garlic powder
• 1 bag (8.5) Eating Right Spinach
• 1/2 cup shredded Cheddar Cheese

Microwave spinach according to package instruction. Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Add flour and whisk until incorporated. Cook for 1 minute. Slowly whisk in milk. Bring to a boil, whisking constantly, until very thick. Whick in garlic powder. When spinach is tender, open bag and drain excess water. Stir spinach into white sauce, add Cheddar cheese and salt and pepper to taste. Simmer until cheese melts.

This recipe can easily be doubled in a larger saucepan if desired.
