Slim Vegetarian: [Vegetarianslimming] Re: Anyone have a good veggie meatball (neatball) recipe?

Hi Cindi,

I found this page with several recipes, but have not tried any yet.

http://www.fitnessandfreebies.com/veg/neat.html

The ones called the Veggie Balls are pretty much what I've been looking for in a recipe. The problem with these ones is the breakdown says how many it serves and nutritional information on that, but don't say how many balls the recipe actually makes based on say about golf ball size. I mean I can buy a cake and say it serves 8 or 10. But if only one or two people are eating it, then it only serves two. Hopefully not all in one sitting!

I have a few recipes in my cookbooks but they all seem to call for a cup of cheese and a cup of crushed nuts which are not always items I have on hand. Or other oddball ingredients I don't shop for. One of my recipes calls for 2 tablespoons of Bragg Liquid Aminos, whatever that is! Never heard of it. Don't plan on looking for it either!

If it has ground round, poultry soup stock, etc....it ain't what I'm looking for! We are not vegan so eggs, cottage cheese, cheese are OK. Something to jazz up the spaghetti meals once in a while. I found a recipe that uses a package of cream cheese. Sounds good, but I'm not sure how the calorie intake would be even if I used the light brand.

My husband really likes them too, especially if I make a slip with the oatmeal and add lots of it to the mix. Oddly enough he doesn't eat cooked oatmeal with breakfast or anything. I'm almost thinking I could turn those into little balls instead of patties, but I'm checking if anyone has a decent recipe they can recommend. And again this would be for meatballs, so tomato sauce would be good. I saw a lot of recipes for sweet and sour that bake in the oven and some that call for baked in the oven topped with cream of mushroom soup. Not discounting them. May be good for some other time, but I like my spaghetti with a tomato sauce and veggies.
