SPINACH BALLS

These Spinach Balls are the perfect appetizer!  They are delicious, easy to make, and more healthy than your average appetizer.  Baked instead of fried and full of spinach and amazing flavors, this spinach balls recipe is going to be your new go to!  If you are looking for more recipes for your holiday party you will want to look at these cranberry brie bites and this cranberry pomegranate champagne cocktail.  Your guess will also love this olive cheeseball!

So this Spinach Balls recipe has kind of a funny story behind it.  This is a recipe that came from my good friend’s mom. Like a second mom to me growing up, living just a few houses down.  Anyway, this was a recipe that I’ve had at baby showers, and bridal showers, one of those recipe that you are like, “Oh, I’ll try this,” and then 80 spinach balls later you decide you are in love.


The other day I was thinking about this recipe and asked my friend if her mom was okay with me posting it on my blog. She told me she would ask and then a few minutes later I got this message about how her mom originally struggled to get the recipe from a friend.

It was hard for her to get the recipe but she believes “recipes are for sharing!” so she’s happy to give it out. To anyone and everyone.

I kind of believe that recipes are for sharing too. ????
