I find it sort of bland but I think I will make it again and add my own touch to it.

LOVE LOVE LOVE it! Had to omit the tomato ( my toddler is allergic to tomatoes) and I added diced red pepper and mushroom Really easy hearty meal. The leftovers were great in a wrap the next day.

I followed the recipe pretty much as is except i added chopped garlic and added a tiny bit of water. It was really good. Can do a lot of varieties too, mushrooms, flavored light cream cheese...

It was ok, I wouldn't use as much of the cream cheese & add mushrooms. I ended up adding more broth & some pepper to what is left as it is dry. It may be better tomorrow. Sometimes leftovers are better.

Very tasty, I didn't have chicken broth so used beef broth.

I thought this recipe was quite good - my roommate didn't like it (thought there were too many different flavours going on with the spinach, cream cheese and dressing), but I thought it was quite good. I had to add a bit more liquid (maybe about a half cup) as the rice was starting to scorch, but otherwise, ok!

YUM! What a delicious and simple recipe. I'll be making this often. I made a few adjustments based on personal preference. I used sundried tomato and oregano dressing. I used mose than it called for. And also added a bit more before I added the spinach. I also used a fair bit more broth, but less cream cheese.
