Today was a swing and a miss with being gluten/dairy free, but it was pretty wholesome, contained greens, devoured by all 3 kids, and not McDonalds... So I am counting it as a win.
*3 tbsp evoo
*1 small onion diced
*1/2 pkg (5oz) frozen spinach, thawed, chopped, and excess water removed
*1/4 c whole wheat flour
*4 c milk
*1 tbsp wooster sauce
*salt and pepper
*2 tbsp dry dill weed
*2 cans chicken in water, drained
*8oz macaroni, cooked
*1/4 c grated parmesan
1. preheat oven to 375*. In pot, cook onions in oil until soft, add spinach and cook 2-3 min more. Add flour and cook and stir for about a minute to make roux. Add milk, stir constantly until thickens and bubbles. Stir in dill, salt and pepper, wooster, chicken.
2. Add drained, cooked macaroni to sauce, stir till combined. Pour entire mixture into greased 9x13 glass dish. Sprinkle cheese on top. Bake 10-12 minutes.
2 of the 3 kids devoured this and asked for seconds. I was surprised since we are not a big spinach family. The third ate her plate after a bit of convincing... Their biggest complaint was the parmesan cheese on top (go figure), so I would probably omit it next time for the sake of calorie saving.
