How I Celebrated

Imitation crab meat and salmon in my salad today. Also, Nate made some AWESOME spaghetti and meatballs. Nate feels his cooking is hit and miss, but I think that is everyone when they are experimenting and that is half the fun. This was a HUGE hit. Seconds, please!

  As long as you are not adding flour to your meatballs you are good here too.

  Here is a recipe for vegetarian meatballs. I would probably go for TVP cause the texture is on point. Try this vegan crab meat.

History

 Imitation crab meat is one of those things I used to sneak from the fridge. We used to go to Asian buffets so my dad could eat as much crab as he wanted. That was too much work for me. I was all about the sweets.
