Day 21: Bean Balls (Yes, that is what I said)

I can read the title of my post ten times in a row and it makes me smile every time. I guess I could change what these are called, but that would be boring and not really truly descriptive of what I made.

I LOVE spaghetti and meatballs.  LOVE.  But we are trying to eat less meat for many reasons, and have tons of beans in the house these days, so I thought, why not try to make them into balls.

I got all excited thinking that I had come up with this really original idea.  NOPE, but who cares?  They were great!  I used chick-peas instead of kidney beans like most of the other recipes I found.  You have to know in advance that these taste nothing like meat, but they are good, like really good.

Bean balls.  I just wanted to say it one more time.

I admit it: I came looking for new hair photos. But I got excited about bean balls and have been reading the No Meat Athlete's page for like 20 minutes. Love it! I love the fun random things you try at home and find for me online. :)
