Baked Spinach & Rice
My kid really likes the taste of packaged rice pilaf. I prefer to make it from scratch, but I must admit that both Whole Foods and Trader Joes have some pre-packaged rice mixes that are very good and don’t contain a ton of junk. If you’ve been following the blog, you know how I love to take packaged things and turn them into household favorites. This recipe uses packaged rice as a base for a baked spinach and rice recipe. It is incredibly decadent but it did get my little Popeye to eat spinach!

I WANT SOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is the most genius idea I have ever seen. This is all I am eating for dinner tomorrow night. So excited!
I just found your blog and I'm loving the concept. I don't cook with my daughter but I think I might have to start. I love your recipes and will definitely be trying a bunch. I love that I usually have a lot of the ingredients that you use already in my pantry or fridge.
My apologies. It should be made at 325 degrees. I updated the recipe. How did it come out at 350?
I made this last night and there was no oven temperature. Can you post that for future reference. I did it at 350 but not sure if that was right…

It actually turne dout good…But wanted to have temperature for future tries….thanks so much
my baby and i both loved this. rice is such a huge comfort food for me, this will be one of my go-to recipes. my only complaint is that i served it alone, and maybe i was too hungry by the time it was done, but i felt like i had to eat a lot of it to feel full. next time i'll serve it as a side to a meat.
I made this tonight! My first recipe that I've made off your blog. I used cheddar because that is what I had, and I'm glad I did. It turned out great and my toddler gobbled it up. woo!
