RECIPES:

Melanie’s Meatless Meatballs:

Ingredients:

4 eggs

1 tbsp sage

1 large onion, chopped

1 cup finely chopped walnuts (a few spins in the blender usually does it!)

1 cup of crushed Saltine crackers (or, if you’re gluten-free, use Glutino Table Crackers instead)

5 cups of cheese

Approximately 2 small jars of Prego Traditional Marinara (or your favorite marinara sauce)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Put the ingredients in a mixing bowl in the order listed above. Mix well. Form firmly into two-inch balls, and place in casserole dish. (If the balls are too wet to form, add more crackers; if they are too dry to hold shape, add a few drops of water.) Generously cover balls with marinara and make sure there’s at least an inch or two of sauce in the bottom of the dish, as well. Bake for 1 hour. Eat the entire thing yourself with no shame and make another batch for your family. ;)

Icebox Cookies (Randy’s Grandma Virginia’s Recipe)

Ingredients:

2 cups butter

2 cups brown sugar

3 eggs

1/2 pound walnuts cut fine

1 tsp baking soda

5 cups flour

1tsp vanilla

1tsp salt

Directions:

Set in the evening and shape into little rectangular loves

Let stand overnight in the refrigerator

Cut into thin slices and bake at 350 degrees.

Randy’s Directions:

Store cookies in an airtight container in the freezer

Eat while cold/frozen and with your favorite ice cream in a spoon of ice cream to cookie ratio in the same bite, letting flavors mix in your mouth.

Suggested ice cream flavors: Butter Pecan, Caramel Praline, Vanilla (I haven’t had any combo that hasn’t been fantastic, so enjoy your favorite flavor)
