So sorry, Lunapic, can’t remember which effect this is but I loved it. You’d think I would remember with my huge brain power (up here) and I’ll keep trying….

Bonjour, today along with my contribution to Saturday’s blog, mama is posting her spinach balls, so good to eat and so good for you and so easy with spring’s fresh spinach (or swiss chard, too).
Spinach balls with olive oil, lemon juice and fresh pepper sprinkled over them are a lovely fresh treat along with luch or dinner.
1 pound of fresh spinach, wilted in a little salted water and drained really well in a colander…no liquid left. Save spinach water for soups. And give Popeye a run for his money, haha.
SPINACH BALLSL
1 small sweet onion, chopped very fine
A squeeze of lemon
Salt to taste and a grate of nutmeg
Olive oil, lemon and pepper
Chop the cooked spinach very fine or pulse in the bowl of a food processor with all the other ingredients. With clean hands, form small portions of the mix into balls and place on a serving plate. Dress with a sprinkling of olive oil, a squeeze of lemon and a little fresh pepper. Chill or serve room temp, they are good either way.
Watch out for those colanders….
Yum, spinach is so good for you, Loulou. Filled with wonderful iron and tasty too.
Oui, around mama’s kitchen spinach rocks….also ggod steamed, mixed with a little cream and butter (!) and a poached egg on top.
Those spinach balls sound yummy, I’ll have to give those a try after I go shopping. Could one use frozen pre-chopped spinach?
That art, Whoa!!!
Tell your Mama to beware of her colander…if she falls through it, it won’t work too well anymore…teehee!
Yes, frozen spinach is fine. Works wonders.
The Lady says those spinach balls look so tasty…and easy to make! She may try them.
Lots of iron to keep your backbone in place, haha.
It looks like LunaPic’s Heatmap effect, LouLou! Very nice and bright and colourful!
How smart to knaw the effect. Mama sometimes uses old ones over again…
My Mom says thanks for the recipe – she loves spinach (and the drawing of the woman-eating colander!!)…….We are waiting for Spring to STAY – it comes and goes but at least we know it’s trying!
Hugs, Teddy (and Pam)
Well, it’s here and there is a blackbird singing just like the one in France! Maybe followed us…
A very nice saturday selfie, and what a nice colourful treat to go alongside! Shame it wasn’t catnip as I’d have got Mrs H to make me some, MOL

Bet you could make it with nip too….worth a try.
This sounds so refreshing and healthy and delicious.
The colander picture is very funny.
Mama did lots of illustration for things and this was for …uh…can’t remember but maybe article on fear of cooking.
Beautiful art and I like the drawing. Thank you for the recipe, it looks good. XO
SO healthy and delicious on a hot day. If they ever get there…
Goodness – we thought that was a picture of marijuana buds til we read the caption.
HAHA…we know where YOUR mind goes…..
Cool art! The spinach balls sound darn good!
