Spring has sprung and life is full of blossoms, birds and baby animals. Spring might just be my favorite season. It is the time of rebirth where nature is in bloom, the light gains speed and baby animals roam the earth. It is the time when people begin to nurture their garden for the upcoming season of sowing seeds to reap the harvest in the later summer months.

Zucchini is a popular garden plant. From zucchini bread to pasta dishes, zucchini is a unique vegetable that can be enjoyed savory or sweet. If you are looking for something different on how to use your zucchini, try these meatballs. 

Like most of what I make, these meatballs are healthy and hearty and adds protein and fiber to the traditional pasta dish. Whether you want to feed yourself, your family or friends, these are not only a great addition to pasta meals, but also served as a sub sandwich. 

Cooking is therapeutic. It is also the use of creative energy. It is the union between the head, the heart and the hands. If you want good health, it all starts and begins with you, your mindset and your affect.

"To enjoy good health, to bring true happiness to one's family, to bring peace to all, one must first discipline and control one's own mind. If a man can control his mind he can find the way to Enlightenment, and all wisdom and virtue will naturally come to him."

Vegan Zucchini Meatballs
Prep Time: 7 minutes
Bake Time: 25 minutes
Makes 14-17 meatballs

Ingredients:
1.5 cup zucchini, shredded 
​1 can chickpeas, drained and washed
1/2 cup rolled oats
4 garlic cloves
2 tbsp nutritional yeast
1/2 lemon, juiced
2 tsp Italian seasoning
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp onion salt
pinch of pepper

Directions: 

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grate the zucchini either in a food processor or with a grater. Squeeze the zucchini to release the excess water. Set aside in a bowl. 

In a food processor, pulse together the oats, chickpeas and garlic cloves. Next, mix all the ingredients into the zucchini bowl. Grease a baking pan. Use your palms to roll a chunk of the mixture into a "meatball." Continue this until all of the mixture is complete. 

Bake for 25 minutes. Serve on top of cooked pasta with sauce.
