Cream Style Corn with Baby Spinach image

My neighbor shared with me some fresh vegetables she had gotten from the Farmers Market and this spinach & corn was in the bag. Although I had never cooked spinach & corn together before, I knew they both were good for you, so I decided to give it a try. It turned out both my husband & I enjoyed this quick & easy side dish...
