Spinach Balls with Broccoli & Parmesan...

So as I'm sitting here trying to get my thoughts together and share with you just how wonderful these  Broccoli Parmesan Spinach Balls  are, my mind just seems to keep wandering.

So I'm not sure if it's the whole Daylight Savings thing and losing the hour sleep or if I just have a lot of other things on my mind.

And it doesn't help if you start sharing your thoughts and you have a quick loss on your WiFi connection and have to start over.

Apparently I need to hit save more frequently.

So anyway, even though I really enjoy the extra hour of daylight in the evening I'm not so sure I like readjusting my sleep patterns.

I mean sleep is so crucial to our overall health. They say that Daylight Savings time can have a lot of negative effects on people(whoever they are).

So why oh why would we want to do this??

Anywho... let's get back to Spinach Balls.

They just happen to have all my favorite goodies packed into one little ball.

I wish I had one of these little babies RIGHT now. They're really so good to snack on and I also like to eat them cold out of the fridge, although that night I had them for dinner.

So many options for these, but they're just super tasty and nutritious and you can't argue with that.

I opted to make my own bread crumbs for these since I had some gluten-free bread in the fridge I needed to use.

And since bread crumbs are super Easy to make..... You could also use GF stuffing mix bread crumbs and those would work equally as well.

But if I haven't convinced you quite yet let me just tell you all about these delicious little bite sized treats.
