For fun I thought I would take inventory of all the eating places within easy walking distance—three blocks or so—of where I live. It turns out to be quite a list:
Adam's: Halal Meat - Grocery - Grill
Aloha Grill - Hawaiian Food
Armonds Bakery & Cafe
Arpi's Phoenicia Deli
Best Dog Gone Sports Grille
Buffalo Wild Wings Grill & Bar
The Bull & Bear Tavern & Eatery
Burger Guys
Café Caspian - Persian Restaurant
Cascadas Restaurante y Cantina
Charley's Grilled Subs
Chick-fil-A
Chipotle - Burritos & Tacos
Edomae Sushi
Empório Brazilian Café
La Finca Mexican Restaurant
Fuddruckers
Hank's Crawfish: Cajun Grill - Oyster Bar
Imperia Bar & Grill - Russian Restaurant
Jack in the Box
Luby's
McDonald's
The Moghul's Restaurant & Lounge
Mumbai Spice
New York Pizzeria
Nit Noi Thai Restaurant
P.F. Chang's China Bistro
Pappadeaux Seafood Kitchen
Piatto Ristorante
Pizza Hut
Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers
Rioja - Spanish Tapas Restaurant
Rockfish Seafood Grill
SJR Fusion Bistro
Sapori Ristorante Italiano
Thai Bistro
Tops Burgers & Wraps
El Toro Mexican Restaurant
Wing Stop
Wok Bo - Chinese Buffet
There's also a banquet hall; a pub which probably serves food; and a gas station which may have sit-down dining.
And there are three "coming soon" signs:
Freebirds World Burrito
Portugallia - Portuguese & Angolian Cuisine
Potbelly Sandwich Shop
I am so lucky ... to be on a tight budget, so that I can't afford to eat myself into a coma.

Recipe: Spinach Balls
2 10-ounce packages frozen chopped spinach
1 6-ounce package chicken Stove Top dressing
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
6 eggs, lightly beaten
¾ cup melted butter
salt and pepper to taste
Cook spinach according to directions and drain in a sieve. Use back of a wooden spoon to press against sieve to get out as much moisture as possible.
In a bowl combine all ingredients. Mix thoroughly. Shape balls ¾ to 1 inch in size (a melon baller or small ice cream scoop can be used for this) and place on a cookie sheet. This can be placed in a plastic bag and frozen.
Bake at 350° F. If fresh or thawed, bake 7-10 minutes. If frozen, bake 10-15 minutes.
This is the recipe my mother has used for many years; I don't know where it originated. Nowadays it's hard to find 10-ounce packages of frozen spinach; you may have to rely on higher math to figure out how to get 20 ounces out of a couple of 16-ounce bags. I'm confident you can do it.
