This really isn’t much of a recipe and all the ingredients are listed in the title but I thought I would blog about it anyway since it has been a recent side dish staple for me. I make a large serving double serving of it at the beginning of the week and I use it for my lunches and dinners throughout the week.

Cook 1 serving of brown rice (Usually 1 cup, dry).

Defrost 1 cup of chopped frozen spinach.

Mix the rice and spinach together.

Add 1tbsp. olive oil.

Season liberally with lemon pepper.

When ready to serve I top with a sprinkle of fat free feta cheese (If you are vegetarian, just don’t add the cheese).

Easy! See I told you, not much of a recipe but it sure does spice up what can become the  same ol’ boring brown rice. Plus you get extra vitamin & mineral goodness with the addition of spinach!
