Lost over half a pound & Vegan 'meatballs'

Nathalie's Vegan 'meatballs'
Don't these look yummy? :-)
I made those last week, as a trial run of a recipe I made from scratch.
I really had a good laugh at my husband. These vegan 'meatballs' looked so real and so good, he waltz into the kitchen, saw the bowl on the kitchen counter and said "Yum! Meatballs!" ... then he grabbed one quickly and popped it into his mouth................
And then reality hit him like a ton of bricks!
These were not what he would call 'real' meatballs, they were a first draft of my home made Vegan 'meatbals'! Oh dear!!!!
You should have seen his face LOL
I'm still laughing a week later. It was priceless.
He will eat anything, he's really easy to please (love you honey!) but when he sees what looks like real meatballs, they have to be 'real' LOL so he had quite the shock there for a second.
I need to work out my ratio of ingredients a bit, but they were pretty good for a first attempt at home made 'soy-free' vegan 'meatballs' :)
Once I have perfected the recipe to where I like it, I'll let you know...
And, I've lost another 0.6 lbs this past week, so that makes a total loss so far of 6.2 lbs, and I ate as much as I wanted, did not  feel deprived at all... I'll take it!

Enjoy the Super Bowl everybody!

Congrats on the continued weight loss Nath! :)

Wish you'd taken a picture of your honey's expression for us! LOL

Since I've always been Vegentarian (before turning Vegan) even mock meats normally gross me out. But your meatlessballs look very appealing to me. Can't wait for you to perfect the recipe and share it with us :)
