Hello everyone, hope you have a peaceful Sunday and a wonderful start of the week ahead! ๐Ÿค—

Today Iโ€™m trying out the new sorghum beetroot pasta so I made some gluten-free Vegan meatballs. ๐Ÿ˜‹

Recipe:

1. Instead of using breadcrumbs I made almond meal by grinding raw almonds with skin (good source of calcium). The amount used was full cup of almond meal in the end.

2. 1 can of chickpeas, drained, rinsed and blend in a mixer.

3. Mix all together in a bowl: half of an onion, diced, ground flaxseed (3 tbsp soaked with water for 5 mins), almond meal, blended chickpea, herbs seasonings, garlic salt, and peppers.

4. I used an ice cream scooper to make into a ball and baked at 180C for 30 mins.

The meatballs came out delicious with sliced mushrooms, freshly chopped tomatoes in tomatoes paste sauce with beetroot pasta. ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ‘

As always, be inspired, be joyful, take a picture and Enjoy it! ๐Ÿ˜‹โค๏ธ

We had autumn fish pie here for our Sunday lunch and Baby enjoyed her leftover fish!

How's Sonya and Lucy getting on?

Baby is well and is being kept in tonight due to Halloween but we have enjoyed our Halloween weekend though.

That sounds wonderful Catgirl, Im glad Baby is doing great and continues to be spoiled by mommy. Awe do you dress up Baby for Halloween? Last year it was Bumblebee ๐Ÿ but not this year.

Hope everyone is keeping warm and safe. ๐Ÿค—

Your lunch sounds and looks delicious. Today I had lunch with my mum: cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, garlic, potatoes and smoked tofu. My mum made egg free chocolate cupcakes with dairy free chocolate buttercream frosting ๐Ÿ˜‹She decorated them with sprinkles. I didnโ€™t think of taking a picture ๐Ÿฐ

Thank you very much HungryHufflepuff! ๐Ÿค—๐Ÿ™

It was a good lunch. I still am full since thereโ€™s pasta so no room for dessert yet. ๐Ÿ˜Awe your lunch sounds so healthy and delicious. ๐Ÿ˜‹๐Ÿ‘ Sounds like your mum made a little cupcakes ๐Ÿงparty so festive with sprinkles and scrumptious buttercream frosting. I havenโ€™t figured out how to make vegan frosting yet. Did you save some extra for tomorrow too? ๐Ÿ˜

I think I might have eaten the last of the cupcakes โ˜บ๏ธ My mum uses a non dairy margarine for the buttercream, Iโ€™m not sure how she makes it. Itโ€™s not something Iโ€™ve tried to make.

in reply to HungryHufflepuff

Awe that means your mum cupcakes are so delicious and well loved. ๐Ÿ˜‹๐Ÿ‘Very interesting. I tried once before and couldnโ€™t whip it up even with the blender mixer, Iโ€™ll do further research. Maybe butter is the missing ingredient. ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ‘

Hi Happyman4,

Thank you very much for saying that. ๐Ÿค—๐Ÿ™

With all the seasonings, they give good flavor and the almond meal gives nutty, firmer texture when baked. Yes I think for spaghetti or pasta, the tomato sauce is key to the dish. ๐Ÿ˜‹๐Ÿ‘

Itโ€™s 6pm over here and there are no kids come by for candies ๐Ÿญ, Iโ€™m still waitingโ€ฆ ๐Ÿ˜

Are you going to the market for some delicious breakfast/ lunch? ๐Ÿ˜Š

Wow sounds like a big party and you got everyone comes through and help out very good. I bet your wife is so busy cooking up Thai food for everyone. ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ‘

I wish you all the luck and success for planting all the trees as you expect them to be. ๐Ÿ˜Š

Your beetroot pasta with homemade chickpea meatballs n mushrooms looks very good and nutritious. How was the beetroot pasta? Did it taste like beets? Have a good day๐Ÿค—๐Ÿ™.

Thank you Zazen very much! ๐Ÿค—๐Ÿ™

Hmmm the beetroot pasta tastes good but canโ€™t tell beet taste, very quick to cook and the red color disappears though.

Have a great start of the week! ๐Ÿ˜Š
