These were a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less salt next time.

I'm allergic to garlic, so I substituted garlic powder. They still turned out great!

I used a food processor to chop the spinach and it worked really well.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my garlic spinach balls turned out really dry. I think I might have overcooked them.

These were a bit too oily for my taste. I think I'll try baking them next time instead of frying them.

I added some chopped sun-dried tomatoes to the mixture and it gave them a really nice flavor.

These were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more garlic and cheese next time.

I'm not a huge fan of spinach, but I really enjoyed these balls. The garlic and cheese flavors were really strong and masked the spinach flavor well.
