Zucchini Meatballs ~ Meatless Mondays

[@KathyW5]

To a former school cook, from a former teacher, now just a classroom volunteer ... I love you guys! I remember way, back, before you were old enough to be cooking when I was a young teacher. They made homemade cinnamon rolls for the chili and homemade hamburger buns. It's come to a lot less homemade, but you, mostly ladies, have a way with making sure we're happy when we leave that lunchroom. Thank you! By the way, I will be making this very soon. Looks wonderful.

[@barbarageiman2364]

Hi Ms.Lori, I did make this and it was really good, my man could not tell the difference, he did ask if I would make these more often. Thank you for another husband pleasen’ meal !

[@jesamineferguson4695]

I have a helpful trick I learned when using grated zucchini to make fritters. After grating your zucchini, sprinkle some salt, but put the zucchini in a colander or on a clean dish towel. Wait about 20 minutes, then squeeze the towel and the juice will come out. Your squash will be ready to sauté.

“And, thank you for the play list!👌🏻💚 I grew up in the south and ate some of the best lunches in grade school. Once I had kids of my own, I became a yard duty at their school- was one for 15 years! I am appalled at what gets served to kids for lunch anymore- frankly, they are being set up for ‘fast’ food. My kids are in their 20’s now and I raised them to eat well and, we, three, have become vegetarian and vegan within the last five years. Thanks again, Lori, for sharing your life with us! You and your husband are the dearest!”💜

Thank you for supporting Autism Awareness. I am a special ed teacher and I so appreciate you wear your shirt to represent all of our sweet students.

[@michelleperkins9886]

Yes! No fingerprints! School food service, baker and cook, washing pots in hot water, unlacing racks from the dish machine. I don’t have any left on any of my fingers,! And loving them suck meatballs! This one is good to know, especially with the price of meats now in 2023! Be blessed, Miss Lori, and Mr B also!!

[@WhippoorwillHoller]

Thank you

[@Cookie-gn4qk]

Why is it I am always hungry when I watch you? I definitely would like this one. I LOVE your shirt, Miss Lori. I am a grandma to an angel of an autistic grandson. He is a very special gift!

[@WhippoorwillHoller]

Oh they are Angel's sent us to know just how deeply we can love someone, xoxoxo

[@kathygoskey6701]

I just wanted to say thank! Made this last night for my vegetarian daughter and her husband….. she was over the moon with the flavor and it was made known that the leftovers were hers. Lol

I don’t know how I keep missing your videos. These look delicious 😋 thanks for sharing.

Go back to my channel page and subscribe again, and hit the dark bell, that way you'll get my notifications, xoxoxo

I made your zucchini meatless meatballs Oh My Goodness these are so good your right you would never know they don’t have meat. Thank you so much for this recipe. I will be making these a lot more

[@waltmoore3095]

Every time we watch your videos we get hungry , dang it, don't stop we enjoy watching, especially Mr Browns reactions!

[@joanrath126]

Id love to have a meatless Monday but I just can't get my family on board with it but then the only vegetable they like is corn.that looks good.

[@sandrastokes2187]

Another one of your recipes to add to my cookbook! God Bless!

[@shelleymccrory-martines9906]

Hi Mrs Lori. I subscribed to your channel about 8 months ago and watch every new video y’all put out. I was raised on Good Ole’ Southern Home Cooking which is also my favorite foods. I will definitely try this recipe. Thank you for continuing to put out delicious and healthy dishes. I am going to enter my pickled beet recipe in our State Fair this year. I live in Texas so it’s a tough competition but this recipe was my Aunts who came from Mississippi. It was her moms (my grandmas) and is about 100 years old. I too do some canning products and give them to my family. Take Care and Happy Cooking!

[@filledwithpeace]

You are such a pretty lady. Very sweet, too. Thank you for sharing all your wisdom, recipes and cooking secrets with all of us. I love when Mr. Brown is in the videos with you, too. You both make me smile. Thank you.

[@WhippoorwillHoller]

Thank you for the kind words, xoxoxo

[@catlo7486]

I'm so glad a stumbled upon your channel. My mom and all of her family came out to the northwest about when I was born. I've never been to the south but my mother raised all of us kids on country cooking and that's how I learned to cook for a big family. my mother, her mom, and all of her family have passed away now so your show and lifestyle are nostalgic. I just love that you show the young picture of you and your husband and how you've grown up together. thank you for sharing

[@beyourownforceofnature7291]

“This is wonderful! We are a meatless family and are always looking for creative ideas! Thank you, Lori, I’ve been watching your videos for the past two days! I just love watching you guys- your energy is the best! You bring me peace and happiness! Thank you again!”☮️♥️💡✨

[@dacanale]

We give up meat on Fridays as is traditional. I love zucchini. 🥒

[@susanjohnson2638]

I think I would make them as patties and brown them in a frying pan on both sides. They look so good! I love your channel!❤️

[@beckydigilormo4261]

They look incredible, I will try this recipe. My husbands family always put some type of vegetable in spaghetti sauce to make it stretch. Cauliflower, potatoes and even boiled eggs. Love watching❤️

[@bernicebalbi9633]

Love meatless meatballs. I always make big batches and bake them off while zucchini is in season and freeze it. We use them for spaghetti, chop them up for pizza topping and lasagna plus noodles and sauce. Meatball sandwiches are really tasty. Anybody who makes these will surely enjoy them.

[@eddieandmaryproctor4476]

Hi Ms Lori, it’s unbelievable the parallels in our cooking we must have been brought up in the same way. However I don’t think I could show over 85 thousand how to cook. By the way you haven’t mentioned your recipe book lately, still looking forward to it. Love the dish, love Mary from England.

[@beckyallen3771]

Looks fab. I’m excited to try this recipe! I would love for you to share more vegetarian dishes.😸

[@dagnelpaula1]

I've learned SO MUCH through your cooking videos, Miss Lori. This is a WONDERFUL tip, in order to stretch your meat. I can see how this could fill in for the real thing. They look SO good! Can't wait to try this one out. God bless.

[@patriciahaskins1956]

Hi Lori! Being a *mostly veggie* person myself, this is definitely a keeper! I sure didn't see the zucchini being sauteed prior to forming the meatballs coming at all!! Great idea to eliminate the excess moisture. I can even see this recipe becoming a "burger patty"!! TFS, stay safe, and God bless!! 🌈🌈🌈

[@simonalyneenderz3247]

Burger patty is brillant!!!!

[@deborahgodley6980]

You do have raw egg in there so should be well cooked.This is a great recipe.I love basil too! When there are well cooked tasty veggie ingredients, you don't miss the meat. Would also be great as substitute for falafel on warm pita with tomatoes, plain yogurt with sliced cucumbers or as a meatball sub!

[@littleme3597]

@@deborahgodley6980 It is baked in oven for 25 minutes!

[@ladyoffaith9721]

Hi Miss Lori...my husband and I sure do enjoy your videos...you and Mr. Brown eat a lot like we do. I love trying your recipes and just find so much peace and joy watching y'all around your place there gardening ...and just talkin bout life and faith. Thank y'all so much for sharing...God bless you and yours...your neighbor's in the Ozarks!!! 🤗❤️🤗

[@glendagai]

Miss Lori, I love this idea of meatless Monday’s! I loved it when you said your garden was coming in👵🏻👵🏻 I just laughed I live in upper state Illinois. I am itching for the last frost date to get here. What a joy it is to sit with you and watch you cook! It is just like a visit with you! I am Just a southern girl at heart living above the mason-Dixon!

[@jeannegrimberg5877]

I tried this today and yes it is a keeper! I so appreciate your wisdom laden, heartwarming, faith-filled, delicious recipe, and farmhouse decor videos! Thank you so much! 🇨🇦

[@heatherlinton5057]

I love this idea Miss Lori I'm a vegetable freek actually I have a great problem digesting protein so my go to meals are vegetarian. So I will certainly give this dish a go. Luckily my husband is like your Danny and enjoys the foods I make 😜🤗🇿🇦

[@judytilford6482]

Judy I really liked this recipe. I adapted it a bit to lower carb and increase protein. The extra egg helped hold them together better. For breadcrumbs I used the Mission brand soft low carb tortillas. I crumbed them in my Ninja! I used 2 eggs ( protein) and shredded parm instead of grated. They turned out great either way.

[@spyk1486]

This is a wonderful recipe! I do love zucchini and have a few ways to use it but always looking for more and a meatless monday or anyday doesn't hurt! Thank you Miss Lori!

[@peggymason7438]

I'm always looking for good ways to make zucchini! We get so many in the garden 💕💕

[@bettylee7229]

I love this recipe Miss Lori. Thank you!

[@barbarageiman2364]

I made this last night , my man couldn’t tell they were not made of meat. I told him after, he said wow they are really good, I like these again. Thank you for a good recipe

[@WhippoorwillHoller]

Wow, that's awesome!! Xoxoxo

[@shannonmurray9929]

I just made this Miss Lori it is absolutely heaven! I used a jar of carmelized onion and butter sauce good lord this is sooo delicious!!! ❤❤❤

[@dominique8233]

If you mix the salt into the raw grated zucchini and leave it to stand whilst you make the sauce, then leave it for 20 mins with a little weight on it, it draws out most of the liquid.

[@Tk-iz2ws]

Kind of like making home made sauerkraut.

[@debbiemorgan6701]

Passed this on to my Granddaughter. She likes meatless meals. I think this will help her diabetes. Love you and your channel.

Hi Lori, been searching for open garden centers. Even large Walmart style stores. We don't have many of that type of stores. The garden shop part is close. Places like Aldi have a few. Its just like America. Everyone seems to be buying online. Cheaper and better quality. Love, Cee💚💚💚🍀🍀🍀

[@shericollins1619]

Tomatoes and zucchini are made for each other!👌♥️💯 will definitely be making these. Thanks so much!!

[@patricialee1477]

Now you're talking! This looks terrific Miss Lori! I'm going to love this one. Thank you so much for doing meatless dinners. We eat meatless five days out of seven and our doctor is so happy with us All our numbers are in the normal range, even blood pressure, and we were able to stop all medications! We do eat meat on the Lord's day and celebrations as in the Bible days or when visiting and we are served meat.

[@WhippoorwillHoller]

I'm so glad yall are doing better, I could do alot more meatless myself! Xoxoxo

[@JudyEddy]

Awesome! We are vegetarian and this will give me some more options! Thank you so much for sharing 🙂

[@mywoolmitten]

I've been looking forward to making these since you first posted, and they are delicious! I halved the recipe since it was just me tonight and it worked fine. I did flip the "meatballs" over halfway thru to brown more evenly. I almost think you could roll them in extra crumbs as well before baking, being sure to watch so they don't burn. Thank you!

[@karenpino272]

This looks delicious! Thank you for a meatless recipe for this vegetarian who loves watching you cook! And I love your shirt!❤

[@maryjemisonMaryjay1936]

Beautiful presentation yum 😋

[@ritabrunetti381]

I can imagine these zucchini meatballs taste great! I make an eggplant casserole and love it too. It's made in layers and I make my own sauce. It's so good. But now you've convinced me to make these zucchini meatballs. My Italian husband will be pleasantly surprise. I'll let him eat them without telling him what they are made with. I'll let you know how this works out!!

[@WhippoorwillHoller]

Oh my, yes let me know! Xoxoxo

[@kendallweaver6386]

I knew right away I have to make this as soon as I can get some fresh zukes. My local organic store is making deliveries now so I am hopeful and wish to have flour as much as the good vegetables I am mostly relying on to last long, like cabbage, kale, carrots, turnips, etc. Thanks so much for the inspiration! Bless you

I will definitely try this! One thing that I found that surprised me is substituting bulgar for ground beef (at least a partial substitution). I was making chili and only had 2/3 pound beef instead of a pound. I rounded it out with bulgur. I could not taste a texture difference. Like the meatballs, the spices covered the taste difference. I did add a little more liquid.
