Spinach and Mushroom Cream Sauce

The boys are at a Men Only Campout tonight to it was just me for dinner. I was tired from working all week and wasn't feeling particularly creative. I used the leftover cream from the Rice and Beans with White Sauce to make this absolutely delicious meal. I already had cooked brown rice in the refrigerator, so dinner came together in a snap.

1 T. Earth Balance (or other non-dairy butter)
1 T. olive oil
1 c. sliced baby portabello mushrooms
1 scallion, thinly sliced
1 c. fresh spinach, sliced
1 t. garlic powder
1/4 cup white sauce (from Rice and Beans with White Sauce recipe)
1 cup cooked brown rice
1/2 T. raw sunflower seeds

Melt butter and olive oil in a large skillet. Add mushrooms all at once and saute about 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Add scallion and continue cooking until mushrooms are soft. Add spinach all at once and cook until soft but still bright green. This will happen very quickly, so watch closely. Remove from heat and stir in white sauce and garlic powder. Pour mixture onto rice and top with sunflower seeds. Serve immediately.

Makes 1 serving, but recipe can easily be doubled or more to serve more people.
