    Spinach Balls with Tomato SaucePin

    These Spinach Balls are an easy meatless home cooked dish that even veggie avoiders will enjoy. My oldest son doesn't eat spinach and he couldn't stop eating these Spinach Balls.

    Buen provecho!

      Erica, these spinach balls look great, like the idea of being baked and not fried...great with the sauce.
      Hope you are having a fantastic week 🙂

      This looks really fun and tasty! The green color is so striking, I can't help but think that these would be especially appropriate for springtime or St Patrick's Day.
