Spinach Cakes

I am always looking for ways to get more veggies into my kids.  Spinach is packed with Iron, Vit A, Vit C, Vit K, B vitamins, Antioxidants, and tons of minerals.  It's good stuff.  

Spinach Cakes are hands down my favorite veggie side dish.  They are super easy to make and so very good.  You have to try them!

Ingredients

2 boxes of frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained

½ onion

¼ cup grated parmesan cheese

¼ cup Italian Bread Crumbs

1 egg

salt and pepper

Sauté Onion in olive oil. 

In a bowl, combine all in ingredients.  

Form ¼ cup sized patties with the mix.  Sauté  on each side until browned, about 3 minutes each side.

Makes 8 Spinach Cakes.  (I made a couple small, so I ended up with 9)
