This creamy spinach rice will be a hit with your family as it is mine.
I may have said this before. While I love cooking sometimes I don’t have hours to spend in the kitchen. That may be different now since I’m now a retired US Army veteran. Yes I can now be considered a stay-at-home-mom (SAHM). I’m not sure how much I like that name. I’ve been working for as long as I’ve known myself and while I’ve been at home during the times I’ve been ill, or the times I have been on vacation, I’ve never been home for longer than a month at a time without working.
Things will now be different and I intend to spend most of my time away from the computer and more with my kids. One of the things we like doing is cooking and today I want to share with you a simple meal that I’m sure the kids would enjoy. Today you’ll learn how to make our delicious Creamy Spinach Rice. While my kids don’t particularly like spinach, when it’s incorporated into this meal mixed with some cheese they don’t even notice it. I may have also mentioned that one of my kids is a pescatarian so this is always a hit with her.
