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!
