TASTY SNACK BALL THINGS (VEGAN!)

Steps:

• Mix together all the ingredients.
• Roll into SMALL balls (they are very rich) and then roll the balls in the extra wheat germ.

VEGAN SPAGHETTI AND (BEYOND) MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Dice tomatoes and return them to the can with their juice.
• Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic to the hot oil and saute, stirring frequently, for 2 minutes. Stir in diced tomatoes and their juice, tomato sauce, oregano, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper until well blended. Bring sauce to a simmer and reduce heat to low. Let simmer while preparing meatballs.
• Combine beef substitute with bread crumbs, parsley, remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt, remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder in a bowl; mix until ingredients are well combined. Roll the mixture into twelve 1 1/2-inch balls.
• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add meatballs to the pan and saute, turning occasionally, until all sides are browned and a bit crisp, about 10 minutes total. Reduce heat to low.
• Pour simmering tomato sauce over the meatballs and mix. Simmer sauce with meatballs for an additional 10 minutes. Serve meatballs and sauce over spaghetti.

VEGAN "CHICKEN" BALLS

Steps:

• Dissolve vegan stock cubes in the boiling water in a bowl. Add garlic, thyme, rosemary, sage, and 1 pinch salt. Cut tofu into 1-inch cubes and add to the marinade. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate, 4 hours to overnight.
• Mix 1 1/4 cups flour, baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and pepper together in a bowl. Place remaining flour in a shallow bowl.
• Stir 5 tablespoons water and flaxseed meal together in a separate bowl. Let "egg" stand until thickened, about 5 minutes. Add soy milk; mix well. Stir into the flour mixture until batter is well combined.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
• Take the tofu pieces and dip them in bowl of flour; move into the batter to coat. Fry in the hot oil until browned, 2 to 4 minutes per side.
