spinach rounds

i love experimenting in the kitchen and coming up with stuff for bonz to try...

i cannot tell you how much pleasure and satisfaction i derive from watching him enjoy eating healthy foods.

here's a recipe that the bonz has signed off on.

full of greens and healthy goodness - plus easy to make and easy to alter.

2 bags organic baby spinach

several leaves of organic kale and/or collard greens and/or a handful of broccoli florets

3-4 organic carrots, shredded

1 tbsp-ish olive oil

1 egg

2 tbsp-ish fresh ground flax seeds (i buy them whole and grind them)

2 tbsp-ish fresh ground chia seeds (ditto)

2 tbsp-ish fresh ground organic sunflower seeds (ditto again)

2 tbsp-ish nutritional yeast

preheat oven to 375.

steam the greens and chop them up, combine with all other ingredients and mix well with a wooden spoon.

drop small portions onto parchment lined cookie sheet and form into a little patty that's about 2" in diameter.

or you can spray a mini muffin tin with olive oil and bake them as little cups - i like the way they turn out when they're baked on parchment better and so does the bonz.

bake for 25 minutes or until the edges are looking a little golden brown and crispy.

they can be refrigerated and/or frozen.

bonz likes 'em crumbled as finger food or eaten as a patty - cold or warm - and reheated on the stove top, added to quinoa, brown rice pasta with sauce.

bon appetite, bonz.
