The 3rd Day of Christmas

On the third day of Christmas…

Thinking up some appetizers for New Year’s Eve?  Try our Spinach Balls.  We served them on Christmas Eve, and switched them up for our gluten-free friends.  The recipe is taken from “MaMa Mia Cucina”, substituting bread for gluten-free bread.  A healthier fat may also be substituted, such as Earth Balance.

Spinach Balls 

1 package chopped frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed dry

1 medium onion, finely chopped

2 beaten eggs

3/4 cup melted butter

1/4 teaspoon thyme

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 cup day-old bread cubes, crumbled  (or gluten-free bread cubes, crumbled)

Combine ingredients and chill for at least 1/2 hour.  Form into balls and bake at 350 degrees for 10-15 minutes.  Serve warm, or at room temperature

Great for parties, and can be prepared ahead of time.

ENJOY!

About Cynthia Ferich

After writing and self-publishing “MaMa Mia Cucina” in 2007, Cynthia's writing, cooking and culinary teachings evolved into being as an entity surrounding food, fun, family and friends.

In an effort to capture her family’s ‘old world’ Italian recipes for future generations to enjoy, her grandmother, ‘Noni’, and Cynthia joined forces. "She measured, I wrote, and we cooked."

During her grandmother's latter 80 years, she traveled in memory through her life, as they shared in stories of a lifetime and long ago. As they shared this final chapter in her life, what Cynthia soon discovered through all of the measuring, cooking, sharing in the love of a family, and in the love of a friendship, was the passion for cooking, and a love that nourishes us all… It’s all about the FOOD!
