. This one is titled Creamed Spinach a la Lawry's in the book but I'm annoyed with the inappropriate use of 'a la' so I'm not going to call it that.I cooked this recipe first after I found my new ghetto cookbook largely because this creamed spinach recipe is served at The Prime Rib on La Cienaga in Los Angeles. Obviously, I've never eaten at The Prime Rib because I'm a cheap ass but any restaurant on Restaurant Row is probably amazing, which they'd have to be to afford the rent. I bet this creamed spinach is about $7 per serving if you were to get someone else to cook it for you, but thanks to me, you can cook it at home and be sure that it's only 2 points per serving :)

1/2 teaspoon Lawry's Garlic Powder with Parsley

2 boxes (10 oz each) frozen spinach = 2 points
(Optional) Fresh basil and extra bacon for garnish (don't forget add bacon points!)

5) Gradually stir in the milk.
