Spinach and Rice with Feta Cheese - xpost

[Guest guest]

This one looks like it would be a good main dish. (And is 24% calories from

fat.) I like to find recipes that call for fresh spinach. I never have cared

for the frozen stuff...tastes fishy to me for some reason. (And look: brown

rice! All the weight folks are saying to eat brown instead of white rice. I'm

tryin!!! Maybe this recipe will be a winner!!) Brenda

mild fall, is ideal for growing large and tasty spinach plants.
