DoctorOz: Delicious Creamed Spinach Recipe with Dr. Oz & Jamika Pessoa

We're back with a dish on Oz and Winner Winner Chicken Dinner that we're feasting all on. So all that's left to do is to add a little bit of green stuff, which I love green. I love the outfit in green, but I love the things that taste great that are green as well. Jerika's whipping up some creamed spinach with garlic and herb breadcrumbs. Dish the details. I know you're all excited about leafy greens. I bring the fun for you. So yes, we have to complete our meal with our vegetables. So it's creamed spinach. You can see here I've already started with a little milk and I've created a roux and that's equal parts flour and butter. So that kind of thickens things up. And then to add just that extra oomph. I don't know. You look away. What is that? We got to add a little cream cheese. Oh, come on. It's not a little cream cheese. I'm looking. It's not a little cream cheese. Now let me tell you. Can I look? Let me look. You can look. It's okay. Breathe. It's okay. And we can do, you can even do reduced fat cream cheese if that makes you feel better. What that does, you don't have to do as much reducing down with your bechamel sauce or your cream sauce because the cream cheese instantly thickens it up, gives it a lot of body and richness. And you can even do flavored cream cheese if you like to. It's a little herbs and garlic in there. Season it up just a bit. And then we're doing the spinach. You can even do frozen kale too and you'll defrost it, let it drain out, squeeze out some of that liquid because you don't want too much of the liquid in there because then you're making cream spinach soup. We don't want that. Yeah. We don't want to do that. So yes, we'll pour that in. Thank you. And once you mix that all together, this is how I like to finish the dish because we just want to add a little bit of love to it. This is grated nutmeg, fresh nutmeg, y'all. I like that little touch. When you put that in there and you kind of mix it all together, it's just like a little kiss of flavor. It just kind of brings everything alive and makes it warm and homey. And everybody's like, oh my gosh, this is like so amazing and all it was was grated nutmeg, y'all. That's all it was. Yes. The love. So yes. So you let all of that come together. And this is what it looks like here. Isn't that beautiful? Beautiful. And this is the only way my mom could get me to eat spinach, was to add lots of cream and everything to it. So if you like me, just add a little bit. Can we use this as a dip too? You could. Oh, you just blew the lid off. You could. Oh my God. And just for a little bit of texture. We're going to do it a little slow. So you got to bring that in. What about your baby girl? Does she eat? Will she eat the spinach? My baby girl, no, she eats nothing. My baby girl's the worst. All she wants to do is eat plant-based food. Plain rice and pizza. So yes. I went to culinary school just to make plain white rice and pizza. There you go. Yes. She's three. I hope she eats more. What about spinach on the pizza? Ooh. Spinach pizza. If you hide the green, will she get into it then? You're going to hide it. That way she can't see it. And you know, every time I think I outsmart her, she's going to go in there and pick it all off. There'll be a pile of spinach. She's going to try it. We're not going to lie. Yes. I appreciate all... If you have information, write in. Tell me something, because I can't feed my baby. She just won't eat anything. But we can all feast on this. Yeah, you're feeding us today. I mean, come on. Let's try this chicken dinner. I've been getting after this roll-up, this cheesy chicken roll-up. This is so good. It's so good. I'm right in there though. And it's just the right amount of...
