Spinach & Mushroom Rice





And the little guy loves it :)

Rice. Total fan favorite. For the first three years of Seth's life, it was one of the only foods I knew he would eat. Wyatt loves it because I make it very sticky and it sticks to his spoon. He's an extremely independent child and refuses to let anyone spoon feed him. Sticky rice sticks to the spoon, sticks in his belly, sticks to the table, the high chair, dog fur, etc..still it's a staple.

2 large handfuls of fresh, organic Spinach..chopped
5 large mushrooms..chopped
3 C boiling vegetable broth
1 Tbsp prepared pesto
1 C long grain rice
1/4 C orzo
1/2 stick of butter
S & P

Bring broth with pesto to boil. While this is coming to a boil, melt half stick of butter in 350 degree oven. Once melted, turn rice and orzo until coated in the yummy melted butter. Add in the handfuls of chopped spinach and mushrooms. Add S&P. Pour boiling broth over the top, stir in, cover and place into oven for 30 mins. I normally top it with parmesan and fresh ground black pepper. This basic rice recipe is served mah-ha-aaany times a week in mah-ha-aaany different ways here at mi casa. Just watch..you will see.
