Feta and Eggplant Meatballs - Donna Hay (WWDH)

Last month, I made all the recipes for the month way ahead of time so I would have them.  What I did not do was to type them up and prepare them for posting.  So, here I sit and I am not even sure if the photo is the right one although it is the only one that fits.  I enlarged it and could see it was not meat.

 This is a unique combination, one I liked a lot, and ate a good share of.  It was selected by Sarah and the recipe can be found here.

Thanks to Sarah.  In a million years, I probably would not have selected these, and I will probably make them again.

Check out the other Donna Hay cooks and see what they have cooked up.

    Those meatballs sound really interesting. I would have never thought of adding eggplant into the meatballs.

    I think those are the right meatballs, they look like they have bits of eggplant in them to me! These were great...we loved them, definitely a repeat sometime. A great way to stretch calories/fat by using that eggplant, less meat and no egg or bread for binders! Yours look delicious.

    Like you, I wouldn't have picked these, but I quite liked them.

    It's great that we all found them a bit different than our usual cooking. I have never chopped eggplant that finely before - I found that part took some time. But it was worth it. Maybe next time I'll repeat on a weekend so my husband doesn't have to wait to long for dinner; haha!

Thai Chicken San Choy Bau

It says, "thai" so I have to like the Thai Chicken San Choy Bau that we are making this week in our Donna Hay Wednesday group.  It was a bit spicy and the chopped chicken was a nice change of pace. Kayte selected this recipe from On the Shelf on page 124.   I tried it with the greens and it was very good and then I put it on spaghetti and it was spectacular.  My toddler granddaughter even liked it.  Must have been the hot sauce. I used romaine for the greens and I subbed in red pepper and added some Sirracha to spice it up to make up for the real chilis. Do check out the other cooks' dishes at our   Wednesday with Donna Hay site.

Brussels Sprouts - Power Food - Re-post

Image
Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. Brussels sprouts like broccoli and cabbage are cruciferous. This group offers a unique composition of antioxidants that may provide several health benefits. Brussels sprouts are low in calories and offer protein, vitamins and minerals to help build a healthy human. My first issue with brussels sprouts is that it took me years to spell it correctly. Each time, it came up, in writing, and I admit, that was not too often, I would stare into space asking myself does brussel get an S, at the end or is it sprout that gets the S. For some reason, I could not remember that both end with that S. I am happy to tell you, I overcame thi...

Carrot Cake _ Power Food - repost

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. That week, we concentrated on carrots. I like to check out our vegetable, not only for health benefits, but also for the names of their sisters. Carrots are related to parsnips, fennel, parsley, anise, caraway, cumin and dill. I didn't have a clue about many of these. I, have never seen carrots of other colors or at least, if I had, I didn't know, they were carrots. I am going to a good produce store, looking for purple or red carrots, to start my search. It is fun, shopping when purposely looking for new vegetables. I have definitely expanded my horizons. When, I was thinking about what to make with carrots, I ...
