As I came across a recipe for these Spinach Balls, I thought that they would be great to serve along with the other holiday foods that I had planned to prepare. I really like spinach, and knowing that there are so many good reasons to eat spinach, any way that I can include it in my diet I will. These were even better than I had imagined and they were given the thumbs-up by those that tried them. Some people don't like spinach though. Can you imagine that? Well to each his own as they say, or her. I'll be making these again since they are so easy and so good.
