It was one of those nights, where I didn't have any protein in the fridge, and I REALLY didn't want to go to the store. The search began which turned up mushrooms, and spinach. What do I do with these? Eureka! I decided to combine two of my favorite recipes, and this is what came of it:) I was really pleased with the outcome and thought I would share it.
Here's the link to one of the two recipes I combined. I can't find the other recipe for Mushrooms in Balsamic Cream Sauce. sorry.

1 T. Evo
1 Pkg. Mushrooms, sliced
3 Cloves Garlic, minced
3 T. Balsamic Vinegar
1/4 t.-1/2 t. Red Pepper Flakes
1 C. Chicken or Veggie Stock (if using chicken broth,add salt sparingly. The parm. will also add salt)

S&P

-Melt 2 T. butter and evo in med. sized oven proof pan over med. heat. Saute mushrooms till browned. Remove mushrooms from pan and set aside.

-Now, you can either finish it in the oven, un-covered for 20 minutes, or reduce your heat to low and simmer for 15 min, stirring occasionally.
-If you want the sauce thicker. mix 1 T. corn starch with a couple T. of cold water and stir it into your spinach.
