I don’t know how you spent Election Day (hopefully you voted!). This is probably the first election I’ve ever really taken an interest in. I mean, really, regardless of whom you were rooting for, it was a pretty amazing event.

I planned to spend most of the night with a friend glued to the TV so to add an air of festivity to the evening, I made Spinach Balls. I hadn’t made them since I blogged about them back in March and they were just as tasty as I remembered. This time, I halved the recipe (well, I halved everything but the butter—oops!) and remembered to take a photo.

I remarked to my friend, who had never tasted the Spinach Balls, that they weren’t much too look at. “No matter,” she said after one bite, “I don’t plan to look at them long.” And then she reached for another.

Spinach Balls
2 (10 oz) packages frozen spinach, cooked and drained (this is easy to do in the microwave)
6 slightly beaten eggs
½ cup butter, melted
1 cup parmesan cheese
2 cups seasoned croutons (the small ones work best)
5 clove of garlic, crushed

Mix all the ingredients into bite-size balls and bake at 350º on wax paper for 15 to 20 minutes. Baking time may be shorter—watch carefully. Best served warm.

Makes 4 to 5 dozen, depending on how large you make them
