Hi everyone! I took some time after Mother's Day and my Birthday to chill out and just come to terms with everything...well, I'm back! Did you miss me?
This is such an easy and delicious dinner...
-Pimenton Chicken (Pimenton is Smoked Spanish Paprika...now available in markets...there are different brands), if you can't find it, just use the best paprika you can get.

- Not Yo Mama's Creamed Spinach
3 different cooking methods used in this meal so you can do all three together.
