Columbus Foodie

My inspiration for this week’s Bookmarked Recipes event is from Kayln over at Kalyn’s Kitchen. I’ve read her blog for a while now, mainly because I should be eating lower/better carb foods, and since she follows the South Beach Diet, I always know that I can find tons of great recipes there.

We were planning a Greek food night, so these two recipes from her blog go hand in hand (since I served one with the other). I’ve been craving them since having the Lamb Meatballs w/ Tzatziki recently as one of the small plates at Rigsby’s. I did change the recipe slightly, and used half lamb with the ground beef (since I had some ground lamb leftover from the preparation of the main dish). If I had to change anything for next time, I’d pan fry the meatballs instead of bake them. Of course, that would make them less healthy, but as fat is not a big concern of mine since the surgery, it works better that way for me.

The recipe for the Mini Greek Meatballs are here, with the accompanying Tzatziki Sauce found here. Thanks, Kalyn, for the inspiration!
