We headed down to Roanoke for a rainy sunday of thai food and science museum mini golf. We got Ella signed up for Chemistry Camp for mid July. A few months ago I had to stop her from mixing the various shampoos and conditioners in the shower to make "potions". Now we just have "potion" night. It is friday. It happens in the bathtub. They both make one potion and have to use it to wash themselves. Friday is also violin lesson day, cookie day, and spaghetti and "meatballs" night. Last week we made our own recipe for tofu meatballs, and it will forever be referred to as "trickin' chicken". Oh, to be five and loving words.
Trickin' Chicken
1/3 loaf good bread made into crumbs in the cuisinart with one garlic clove, toasted
1 pound tofu
3 tbsp brewer's yeast
sage, parsley, and oregano
teaspoon salt
ground pepper
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
6 mushrooms, finely chopped and sauteed with 1 onion, two cloves of garlic, and I had a shallot so I added it.
Pulse herbs, spices, tofu and bread crumbs. Add water to make a cream cheese consistancy. Mix in sauteed mushrooms and onions and refridgerate. Saute in 1 tbsp olive oil until browned and then pour in two tablespoons of balsamic, shake until evaporated, and then add a quart of marinara. I let it all sit for twenty minutes. Serve with spaghetti.
Ella declared this delicious, and she likes all kinds of meaty meatballs. John ate these with his hands. Big John thought they were "trickin".
