Ok, so I know I really need some lessons on taking food pictures - mine never look good - but what's a post without a picture?Here are a couple recipies I've tried lately featuring: VEGETABLES! Dane isn't a big veggie eater, so I try to squeeze them into whatever I can.
- Carrot Sticks from Weelicious - a fabulous website I recently discovered. I doubled the recipe and used a combination of shredded carrots and apples, a combination of white flour and wheat flour, and did it all in the food processor as some of the reviewers suggested. They turned out more biscuity than crackery - I think because the apple added extra moisture. Verdict: It was easy to make, it made a lot (I put half of it in the freezer), and best of all Dane ate them!
- Bean "Meat"balls from Dr. Oz. This recipe uses kidney beans and mushrooms instead of ground meat. I mostly followed the recipe, except I added some herbs and spices since there really wasn't any in the recipe. I added fennel, red pepper flakes and garlic. Verdict: I've tried a couple other meatless recipies and these had the best flavor. The consistancy was much softer than normal meatballs, even after I ended up adding about 1 cup additional breadcrumbs. But we liked them and Dane even ate them! They are a bit labor intensive though.
