Hello friends. I hope you are all enjoying the week. I am to but I just can't believe it's already the end of July. 😎 How can the summer be flying by so fast?
When I was first married I used to make meatballs all the time! I used to make them and then I'd spend hours frying large batches of the meatballs and then freeze the rest of them. Doing it that way I figured it was a great way to make and save them for another time to defrost and eat.
It used to take me a long time to fry and get them all dark and crunchy on the outside. I'd then be covered in grease from the day of making fried meatballs. Boy, was that tiring but the meatballs tasted so good!
Then after a while I stopped making the meatballs that we all loved eating. I would buy a small bag of frozen meatballs from Trader Joe's to eat. After that I would take the easy way out and buy a huge bag of frozen meatballs from Costco.
After a while I had to make the meatballs. My husband and daughter would beg me constantly to make them.
It has been years since I made my own meatballs!
I was so happy when I stumpled upon this recipe for meatballs from the blog Our Unschooling Journey Through Life. She made a HUGE batch of them, but I cut the recipe in half and made a smaller batch of them that you bake right in the oven. They are baked in the oven on a high heat but they only take 20 minutes to bake. The inside of the meatballs come out tasting moist and the outside are crunchy and they taste like they were fried.
These baked meatballs taste so good, are so easy to make, and only take minutes to bake!
You can always change around the recipe to your liking like I did.
I added Almond milk for where the recipe calls for milk. I made these meatballs a second time and added more garlic (two teaspoons), a little bit more milk, and two eggs.
If you would like to see the original recipe, you can click here at the Our Unschooling Journey Through Life blog.
Please let me know if you make these meatballs and how you liked them.
Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of the week and weekend.

Meatball Recipe
This is a delicious and easy recipe for baked meatballs.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lb. ground beef
- 1 1/2 cup bread crumbs
- 1/3 cup milk
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon parsley
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 egg
Instructions
Combine bread crumbs, milk, Parmesan cheese, parsley, Italian seasoning, garlic together in a large bowl. Then add eggs and ground beef and mix until well combined. Using an ice cream scoop, scoop up the meaballs making sure to press the scoop against the sides of the bowl so meaballs are tightly packed together. Put them on parchment lined baking sheets making sure to leave room between each meatball. Bake them for 20 minutes on 475 degrees F.

Hello friends. Well, I'm glad to back from my blogging break!
I hope you all had a great 4th of July. I had a really nice day and we packed everything up early and headed to the beach. It was a little crowded but we enjoyed ourselves since the water was so warm to swim in. We also enjoyed watching the fireworks.

I recently found an awesome recipe a while back from my blogging buddy Heather, who blogs at Our Life In a Click. She loves cooking Vegan and healthy foods for her family.
Heather recently made a Tofu Scramble that she shared on her blog. This dish is great for people that do not like to eat eggs since there are no eggs in this recipe. For the recipe, you use tofu instead of eggs.
To see the recipe on how to make this tofu scramble you can click HERE.
We all are trying to eat healthier so I decided to try out this recipe since it looked so good. I made this recipe a few weeks ago and we all loved it and it tasted just like eggs.
I gathered some of the ingredients along with salt, pepper, garlic powder, firm tofu, a can of rinsed and drained chickpeas, and some baby spinach.
 |
I also added a package of vegetables that included broccoli, red and green peppers, and onions that were cleaned and chopped up already.
I let all of that simmer in a large pot with olive oil for a few minutes.
 |
I next added in drained and crumbled up tofu to the veggies. I let that all cook for a while.
 |
I next added in some tumeric for flavor and coloring. I did not have all of the ingredients that were in the recipe and left out the aminos and brussel sprouts.
I let this all cook for a while until the veggies were all cooked through.
 |
My daughter and I really loved this dish and she had hers with brown rice and I had mine with whole wheat toast for dinner.
This dish is great for breakfast, lunch, or dinner!

Thanks, Heather for the recipe to make this tofu scramble. It really does taste like eggs and vegetables.
I hope some of your will also be inspired to cook this healthy tofu scramble.
Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the end of the week and weekend.
