Tasty Thursday

So a couple of weeks ago I had almost nothing in my fridge and it was time to cook dinner. I didn't feel like cooking and I really wanted to keep things clean.  The only thing I had was a package of ground chicken and a bag of frozen spinach and some lettuce.

What did I do? What I do best, try to make the best of what I did have. And you know what it might be one of the best things I've come up with to date. If you follow me on Twitter or Facebook or Instagram you might already know what I'm talking about. Chicken & Spinach Balls. I posted a picture and the recipe and pretty soon people all over my town were making them and sending me messages that they were a hit with their kids, husbands and neighbors.

They are super easy to make. Have fun and enjoy!
