I found this a very good recipe. Easy and nutritionally good if a bit bland. I used fresh basil 3X the amount in the recipe as it didn't specify dried or fresh. Next time (and there will be some) I think I will add a bit of grated Parmesan cheese to the mix. Just a bit so it wont overpower.

I liked these - great flavor! But they seemed more like "breadballs" to me. I guess the name, "I can't believe it's spinach" is accurate, as I could hardly taste the spinach, but was looking forward to tasting it at least a little... I added some fresh basil, and that added great "umph" to the taste factor.

Very nice way to get your greens. I will cut the spinach down by half a box and use a bit less oregano next time. I baked some as balls but then tried putting the mixture in mini muffin cups, which worked well too. Thanks for another spinach treat for my repetoire!
