Meatless Monday can be any day!

Yesterday I did a cooking demo at Williams Sonoma Columbus Circle. As the weather gets cooler we look for comfort foods. I thought I would share a new food that I tried recently, meatless meatball from Veggie Patch. For the demo I displayed several uses for the meatless meatballs:
-meatball hero in a whole grain bun
-meatballs and whole grain pasta with broccoli
-pizza whole grain english muffin with meatball topping
and I made a Tzatziki dip to sample the meatballs
Everyone was so amazed how delicious they tasted and they were healthy!
Here is a link to their website so you can find a store near you to purchase http://www.veggiepatch.com

For the Tzatziki recipe:

12 oz Non Fat Greek Yogurt
1 English cucumber
¼ cup Lite sour cream
2 Tbsp fresh squeezed lemon juice
1 Tbsp white wine vinegar
1 tsp minced garlic
1 tsp minced dill
2 tsp sea salt
½ tsp black pepper

  1. Finely grate cucumber. Lightly pat with paper-towel removing most moisture.
  2. In a bowl, mix cucumber, yogurt, sour cream, lemon, vinegar, dill, garlic, salt and pepper.
  3. Stir well.
