Spinach Orzo

We have been house hunting like crazy here in the DFW area. The houses are selling like hot cakes! Just when we think we found “the one” it is under contract… It’s so frustrating! So house hunting has become a full time job for me.  I am a woman on a mission to find the perfect home! Wish me luck 🙂

Now onto the spinach orzo… Since we have been house hunting day and night I needed quick and easy dinners. This spinach orzo it exactly that! It seriously takes 10 minutes to make.

I only used spinach leaves, but you could easily add any veggies you like. This is a great cleaning out the fridge recipe!
