FOTO FRIDAY: FOOD PORN , NO WAY!

FOTO FRIDAY FUN finds its self coming out of the kitchen last night. Cutting meat intake is easier when good sounding recipes come across one's way. I love this recipe from ALLRECIPES.com This one was meatless meatballs made with, are you ready?

Mushrooms! 

Even if you don't like mushrooms you won't know their mushrooms by the time you finish. (That's for my brother Marc)



I  doubled the recipe below even though I'm just feeding two.  I figured I could freeze a couple dozen. Follow the video directions for chopping and cooking and you won't be disappointed.

Below is the original recipe for those who want to try making these.
