And ... here we go!
1. Good times: I'm beginning to learn what they are again!.
2. For the first time in a long time, it's my home.
3. Sleigh bells ring every time Santa hits a bump.

5. Once more I'm making the decisions that are best for us.
6. Is this really the end?
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to grocery shopping, tomorrow my plans include volunteering at the foodbank and Saturday night church service and Sunday, I want to get laundry done in under 74 minutes!
Last year, Another Suburban Mom (be careful with this link - ASM is a mixture of mom and NSFW) did a virtual cookie exchange. This year, she's calling it a "Treat Exchange" which gave me an idea. A treat doesn't have to be a cookie, right? It could be an appetizer, right? Right?? I thought so!
This recipe was shared with me by Kell, who just happens to be Jay's sister. I made these for Cam's football banquet about a month ago and they were a huge hit! My favorite thing? They can be made ahead of time, popped in the freezer, then cooked up in just 20 minutes whenever you need them!
2 packages Chopped spinach, well drained
3c. (8oz) Pepperidge Farm stuffing (with spice) crushed slightly
2 lg Onions, finely minced
6 Eggs, lightly beaten
1/2c Butter, melted
1/2c Parmesan cheese, finely shredded
3 Cloves garlic (finely minced)
1/2t Thyme, crushed
1T Black pepper
Salt to taste
Mix all ingredients in a very big bowl. Chill briefly. Form into 1" diameter balls.
Place on a cookie sheet. Freeze until solid. Transfer to plastic bags for storage.
Bake on a greased cookie sheet at 325 for 18-20 minutes. Makes about 80 balls.

I like spinach but seeing them in ball form doesn't really do it for me. And...of course it's not the end; it's a beginning. Cheers Dana!!
Thanks for playing. I have made those spinach balls before and I LOVE them. They are so yummy. I will have to send you the recipe for their cousin, the sausage ball.
Only three ingredients.
I am glad things are turning around for you. Have a wonderful weekend!
6. Perhaps it's the beginning of the end. Spinach balls?
Would Popeye eat these treats?
Freedom is a good high.
Your balls look delicious!
Cheers,
Kim
They should outlaw the use of the world balls in any food item. Brings to mind Chef's chocolate salty balls. LOL
my mother loves spinach balls and so happy you are finding out what good times are again
Matt-Man, what? Green balls make you squeamish??
Another Suburban Mom, thank you for hosting! You mean I can have green balls and brown balls on the same tray??
we're doomed, yes spinach balls! I bet I know someone who would make them for you if you asked her real nice.
Doc, they really are YUM!
Kim, here! Try one! Now, isn't that the best ball you've ever had?
Shiny Rod, I guess I could have called them rocky mountain green oysters. Personally, any recipe that comes out in bars or balls is a winner in my world!
Mmmmm .... these sound yummy!
I don't hear from you much, probably because you are busy.. sounds like all is going well..Good Luck!
Yay, a vegetarian appetizer! We're always looking for new ones of these. They sound great!

I always knew you were a woman with balls!
I'm not much of a spinach fan, so I'll have to pass this time around.
Does Popeye have spinach balls? And does Olive know? I'm just askin'...
