Description

I started clicking around my blog and quickly stumbled upon my butternut squash and wheat berry mock risotto. I loved that recipe! It was a huge hit in our house with both me and Ryan and I figured I could play around with different vegetables and come up with another wheat berry mock risotto dish for dinner this evening.

  • 8 cups fresh spinach
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 links cooked chicken apple sausage, sliced (optional)
