Once every week I take Leo to a playgroup. I enjoy it as much as he does, I get to talk to other adults and he gets to make friends. Its hard for me to meet new people but so far it has been good. I think the best thing is that it forces me to get out of the houses. If shops here delivered groceries I probably would never leave the house!
This week one of the mums shared her recipe for baked spinach and cheese balls. Her son seemed to enjoy them, so I decided to try them
She used frozen spinach in hers but I used my fresh arugula. Can I just say how proud I am of my self for growing my own arugula. Here in Bermuda, this much arugula could have set me back $15.
You need a few ingredients and you can shape them any way you want. 
There is no meat so they are perfect as a meat substitute. You can serve these balls as a snack, appetizer or with spaghetti.
