Hanukkah menu?

I've emailed my mother, though honestly I think she uses a boxed mix.  Her solution for me when I was trying to cut down on fat and calories, HALF a matzo ball

hehe....as if I'd ever be able to stop at half. Thanks for emailing her...fingers crossed that she has a recipe or knows of one.

Just do a google search. There's lots of recipes for it there!

Yeah I did the google search...was just hoping someone had a recipe they'd actually tried and knew was good. I hate finding a recipe online and making it just to find out it's icky.

My mother is asking her friends.  It's the great Jewish network going on now on Long Island!

hehe...great Jewish network...I love that. Thanks.

OK, this is what they said. 

~egg substitue instead of eggs which cuts some of the fat

~one egg white in lieu of egg; cut down the oil by half and add broth

Sorry there were no other suggestions, but I think this is a good start!

Thanks stacey. I'll experiment with those ideas mixed with stuff I found through google and see what I can do. Wish me luck. Or maybe I could try your mom's idea and eat only half of one....if I make them the size of softballs that is. hehe

I think if you sub egg white for an egg you have to use 2 whites. Not sure how many cals you save there but I doubt it's enough to justify the loss of flavor.
