Today, I made one of the best things ever. Really! And I thought to myself, oh boy, I really really should blog about this. This is exactly one of those recipes that I do not want to forget how to make. And then, I opened my blog and noticed that the last entry I made was in 2016. Yes, a long long time ago and even though I have been taking my computer every trip I go on, having that extra blogging time just doesn't happen. So here I am today, trying not to be the overworked in daily life but slacker in the blogging area. Trust me, I'm a hard worker and recently I've been selling Vintage items and antiques (check out my Instagram @Paizlyvintage) and I've never worked so hard at manual labor, moving furniture and such. I get home and I'm sheer tuckered out exhausted! So recipe documenting has not been happening even though I cook on almost a daily basis and take pictures to post to @mydeliciousvegandiary IG. Yet however, I have not blogged. I do have plenty of drafts, but I have a lack of time to finish them. Forgive me. I am trying to forgive myself too but being this far behind in blogging just has me overwhelmed since I have recipe notes everywhere, photos on my phone, photos on my computer and nothing to show for it.
But...
Cheers to new beginnings.
This is much needed since my memory is now lacking with my new age of 50. (Yikes, I don't feel 50 and the sheer thought stings in my core.) I am a cook. I love to eat. I must blog to remember all the tasty things once again, so here we go. Welcome back Kimberly.
Want to know what I think is so weird? New products like "Beyond Meat" feels like a cheat. I am used to making so many things scratch with veggies, and the time it would take to make something similar to a meatball was extensive but having a superior product like "Beyond" makes cooking so simple. Things are really changing. There are times that I say to myself that making a recipe with "Beyond" products isn't really a recipe but I must quiet my inner self. Just because their product cuts my time in half, doesn't mean a recipe is not legit. Try this recipe and you will agree. Now is the total time to be Vegan and totally enjoy it. (Not that I didn't enjoy it before, because it has always been fun to make incredible foods, but it is now done in minimal time.) Thank you "Beyond." Thank you to all new Vegan companies working diligently to make even more delicious and world changing Foods.
Meatballs Italiano
2 Beyond Meat, Beyond Sausage Brats
2 Beyond Meat, The Beyond Burger fresh patties
1/2 c Bread crumbs
1/3 c Oatmeal
1 Tbs Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp Smoke Flavoring Liquid
1 Tbs Powdered Vegan Egg
1 Tbs Chopped Fresh Parsley
1/3 c Finely diced Onions
1/4 c Finely diced Mushrooms
1 tsp Soy sauce
Additional flavors:
Tomato sauce
Dash of basil, oregano, salt, pepper
Vegan Parmesan
In a large bowl, mix all ingredients by hand by squeezing until everything is incorporated. Go ahead, get on in there and squeeze it like you mean it. Once done, cover and place in the refrigerator so the flavors can seep into the mixture and do their magic.
I use a 2 ounce cookie scoop to make my meatballs and put onto a large platter. Next, put a little oil on your hands and roll into uniform balls and place in a skillet that's been heated with a shallow bit of oil. Cook them on all sides for a few minutes by rolling them around the oil until all sides have browned. To make them quicker, you can also deep fry them in a large fryer for a few minutes also.
Place cooked meatballs on a paper towel to remove some excess oil.
To plate, add about 2 Tbs of Tomato sauce, sprinkle with a dash of spices, salt and pepper and place meatballs on top. Add Grated Parmesan and enjoy!
Makes about 15 meatballs.
Thank you for stopping by to see me. I'd love it if we could meet up again. Let me know what you think about this recipe and my others by joining me here on the blog, facebook or instagram and share a little love. Why? Well, it's because I love you too...
So stay awhile, have a nice beverage of your choice, grab a treat or two and enjoy....
