Tofu and I don\u2019t really mix well together. \u00a0In fact, I\u2019m not a fan\u2026at all. \u00a0I know that\u2019s pretty hard to believe coming from a vegetarian, but there it is. \u00a0When I eat tofu, it\u2019s got to be something pretty special. \u00a0And usually unrecognizable. My daughters (thankfully!) love tofu, in any form I give it to them.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m used to making all kinds of meatless meatballs for my family, but when my best friend mentioned she made some tofu meatballs, I was intrigued. \u00a0She said they were really good, and really easy to make. \u00a0Hmm\u2026<\/p>\n

So, I came up with a recipe for them, I made them, and I liked them. \u00a0Even my meat-loving dad liked them! They\u2019re great to substitute for regular meatballs when you want something lighter, but still full of flavor. \u00a0They go really well with rice, potatoes, and especially drenched in tomato sauce over spaghetti. \u00a0What can I say, they\u2019re really good meatballs!<\/p>\n
