This is a much healthier alternative to regular meatballs. They're also pretty delicious. They taste great with spaghetti and sauce. I prefer to serve them with Trader Joe's Organic Whole Wheat Spaghetti and Trader Joe's Garlic Marinara Sauce. Sometimes the mix can become a little squishy and so we just use it as "meat sauce" instead of rolling into balls. If you wait long enough for moisture to evaporate, making balls should not be an issue. As meatballs they are even better the next day. Me and my boyfriend (who is vegan) adapted this recipe from the recipe here: http://www.grouprecipes.com/96989/red-lent

This a sample of Turkish cuisine. It is delicious, easy to cook, and nutritious. You can eat it alone as a main dish, or serve with either meat or beans. It is also good with yogurt .

Pronounced ma-zhe-dra, this is a vegan Middle Eastern bulgur wheat, lentil and onion pilaf that is incredibly yummy! I first had it at a now (unfortunately) defunct Middle Eastern cafe and the full-blooded Syrian owner told me what the ingredients were, so after they closed and I was craving this dish, I threw together the ingredients in amounts I felt were similar to hers and it turned out pretty authentic tasting! You can also use equal amounts of whole-grain brown rice instead of the bulgur, but I prefer the bulgur wheat. Nutritional info listed is using the bulgur.

Recipe calls for 2 - 4 oz. boneless skinless breasts, says it serves 4, but serving size is one cup bulgur, and 4 oz. of breast. Calories in Mag came out to 280, this is 293

YUM OH!! Satisfies the craving for something cool, crisp and filling!

I'm sure that nothing about this recipe is remotely healthy, but the holidays are coming! It was passed down to me from my grandma who had a wicked sweet tooth.

I made this up one day when I was craving cabbage and had a bunch of kidney beans in the fridge that needed using. Canned kidney beans would work fine here if you're in a hurry.

A lovely change from the normal boring salad!
