Creamed Spinach

2 Tbsp. margarine, preferably unsalted
2 medium shallots, diced
1 Tbsp. all-purpose flour
1 cup unsweetened liquid nondairy creamer or soy milk
1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg

1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper

•In a large sauté pan, melt the margarine over medium heat.

•Add the spinach, stir, and cook until tender—around 4 to 5 minutes.
