RICE PILAF WITH SPINACH
This is a delicious variation of rice pilaf...and adds a bit of nutrition (shh...don't tell the kids). Neither of my kids will eat spinach on its own, but this is their favorite rice

Steps:
- 1. Make rice per package directions.
- 2. When rice is done cooking and ready to set, add the package of baby spinach (don't worry--it will look like a LOT of spinach, but it will be fine) and re-cover.
- 3. Let set covered three or more minutes to steam the spinach.
- 4. Uncover and stir until everything is blended together beautifully (see, I told you the amount of spinach would be reasonable). If needed, re-cover and let steam some more if the spinach is still too separate.
- 5. Serve and enjoy.

YUMMY WHOLE GRAIN WHEAT PILAF (WHEAT BERRY)
I made this tonight and we thought it was great. Even my 20-month old daughter LOVED it and that's saying something. I know a lot of people want more whole foods in their diet but have no clue what to do with them. Whole grains can get pretty intimidating. This is a healthy, whole grain recipe that's easy as can be. I've listed the fruit and nuts at the end as optional because this is good with or without those ingredients. I like it without. You can also add some grilled chicken or shrimp and make it an entree. Let your mood dictate how you make it. :) Also, I entered this under the Kid Pleaser category only because my picky 20-month old loved this so much! :D

SPINACH AND LEMON RICE PILAF
Great side dish for roast or grilled chicken, grilled steak or fish. The vegetables and lemon give a wonderful fresh garden taste. You can vary the amounts of the veggies to your taste. I use just a little more rice to stock than usual as I prefer a slightly drier pilaf.

SPINACH RICE PILAF
This Spinach Rice Pilaf is a great side to any chicken, meat or poultry. I was searching for this recipe after having this dish at a Greek resturant, and found it on another website. It has very little fat, and lots of spinach and other veggies, so it is healthy too.
