SARAH'S FETA RICE PILAF
Rice and orzo pasta merge with the flavors of onion and garlic to create this versatile side dish. Bulgarian feta gives the dish a decadent creaminess while spinach adds beautiful color. You can get Bulgarian feta cheese at most international grocery stores. Bulgarian feta is creamier than the Greek version which tends to be very dry.

SPINACH FETA RICE "LOW FAT"
I can't remember for the life of me where I got this recipe from...but it is one of my favorite side dishes. The flavors in this rice dish just tickle the tastebuds! :) I did try it with brown rice and it's equally as good, of course you have to alter the broth or water and cooking time a little if you do that. I have made this...
