SPINACH MADELINE
Originated at Green Springs Inn in St. Francisville, LA by Madeline Nevill, this dish has become a favorite nationwide. (From Tony's Seafood in Lousinana website). Need I say more? Yum. ;) Since the garlic cheese roll is hard to find in some areas (mine included) you could substitute Boursin, Alouette or Rondele as they make spreadable flavored fresh cheeses in garlic flavor.

RIVER ROAD SPINACH MADELEINE
This is my adaptation of the recipe in the River Road Recipes cookbook from the Junior League of Baton Rouge, La. This has been around at least since the 1960's and is still a favorite. It tastes better the next day after it is made. It freezes beautifully.

RIVER ROAD SPINACH MADELINE
First published in 1959 in River Road Recipes, the Junior League of Baton Rouge's community cookbook, spinach Madeline remains a favorite side dish in Southern Louisiana. Thick and creamy with a hint of jalapeno heat, it's most at home on holidays next to turkey, cornbread dressing, and green bean casserole. It's easy to make and easy to multiply for big gatherings. This may be served immediately or put into a casserole and topped with buttered bread crumbs. The flavor is improved if the latter is done and kept in the refrigerator overnight. This may also be frozen.

CHEESY CREAMED SPINACH MADELEINE
This is my Mom's recipe and is a staple at every holiday gathering. She calls it Spinach Madeleine -- we just call it great. You can "heat" it up by using jalepeno cheese or adding jalepeno peppers, which is how my mom usually makes it. Great any time -- not just holidays.
