Open again!

Okay, the Caffeine Pit Stop is open once again....back by request. A new element to this Blog is going to be recipe sharing. You may at any time try any of the recipes posted but in return I ask that you post one of your favorites to share. This is NOT a requirement, but it would make things more interesting and fun. I will also, for the benefit of friends and family, comment on things going on in my life to keep them updated......ok, here we go.......

how's this for a starter?.....I just rode my daughters friends dirtbike! Ha! Don't try and tell me I'm too old!! I also got up on one ski a couple weeks ago and water skiied! Your only as old as you let yourself believe....and boy have I got myself fooled!

Okay, the first recipe to start this off is going to be a family favorite. Let me give you a little history on this......a Verlander Thanksgiving would not be the same without this served, it is a family tradition (more than that....it is a MUST!!) I can remember as a child, in a family of 8 kids, we would count each others to make sure that no one else got more than we did! Looking back it's pretty amusing but back then we took it very seriously! I have served this to many people who don't like spinach, but they love these! I hope you enjoy them just as much......

Spinach Balls

2 pkg frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained well
3 c. Pepperidge Farms Herb flavored stuffing
1 onion, diced
6 eggs, beaten
¾ c. butter, melted
½ c. Parmesan cheese
1 Tbsp pepper (or to taste, I use 1/1/2 tsp so it is not too spicy for kids)
1 ½ tsp garlic salt
½ tsp thyme
Combine all ingredients. Roll into walnut sized balls and place on greased cookie sheet. Bake at 325 degrees for 8-10 min. (until slightly brown on bottom). Enjoy!

If you try them please feel free to comment. Good or bad!

And welcome to my Blog!!
