Spinach Balls

Prepared in about 10 min and Similar to something like a meatball, these Spinach balls are a guilt free eating, with only about 25 calories per ball you can enjoy as many as you want and not feel bad about it.  Meatless or with a few of your favorite diced meats in the mix, it is great either way. I've tried them both ways and honestly didn't  notice a difference with or without meat, they are delicious.

Great for a light dinner or afternoon snack. My sister said she tried it for breakfast and enjoyed it a lot. Goes great with naan bread on the side and with your favorite dips such as parmesan, spinach and artichoke (one of my favorites). Take a look at how its done.

Ingredients
1 container of fresh Spinach (16oz)
1/4 cup bread crumbs
1/3 cup shredded cheese

Directions

Preheat oven to 400F
Roughly Dice all your spinach, place it in a big bowl, add your bread crumbs, eggs, cheese and optional meat. Mix everything in with your hands until well incorporated. Start forming them into balls by squeezing it together until it sticks; form a ball in your hand.  If it's not sticking together well enough, add another egg to the mix.

Lightly oil an oven tray, and add your ball to the tray. Place in the oven and bake for about 15-20 min or until the balls are golden brown around the edges. Enjoy.

Mommy Grandma Here is my beautiful mother and my grandmother both of whom I love dearly. Oh, yes. And look at my darling twin sister. My mirror, my look alike. which one am I? Do you know? Well my mom and grandma were  both born in Furna - Brava, Cape Verde also known for its portuguese name as CaboVerde. A portuguese speaking Island off of the coast of West Africa. Me in CapeVerde In CapeVerde just like in any other Country there are many traditional dishes such as 2 of the main ones. Cuscus - a breakfast bread and Cachupa- a heavy soup for lunch. These are 2 of my favorite Capeverdian foods along with others such as funginho, gigacida, and the list goes on. Cuscus is a breakfast food. For those of you who don't know what it is, its similar to a corn muffin or a corn type of bread. It is made fresh and eaten whilst hot off of the stove spread with loads of butter to melt nicely on top. I love eating this with my favorite rasberry tea. Some of you might hate i

Do you get a white ooze when cooking Salmon?

Does your salmon often look like this when you cook it? Tried baking, frying, poaching it but this stuff keeps coming out? Quick tip: when cooking salmon it is common for a white sort of cream to come oozing out all around the fish. Though it does not affect the taste. It can be found to be annoying and not pretty. But I found the trick to solving this problem, it happens because salmon is an oily fish, there are many oils within the fish itself. When cooking all of these oils come out in the form of this white ooze, normally from my own experience, when this happens the fish tends to become dry. Because now all of that moisture and oils meant to keep the fish succulent and juicy was just taken out. I found a solution to this problem. To keep all the oils locked in, you need to dry out the surface of the fish.  Before seasoning drizzle a little bit of vinegar on the fish and rub it in well. Continue your seasoning process. You will see that your problem will be resolved. F
