I am sorry to say I didnt care for this very much. The flavor of the rice was bland and all that I tasted was the spinach. Maybe adding more chicken bouillion or using low fat chicken broth instead of the water would add more flavor. I did add some black pepper, lemon pepper, garlic powder and a pat of butter but that would change the points per serving.

I live in Western KS and am a K-5 Librarian. I love to cook! Don't we all? I'm married to a VERY picky eater. For me, cooking is a great way to relax. I love baking the best. Christmas is my favorite time of year because I can make so many yummy goodies. I'd like to make goodies year-round but we definitely don't need it!
