ABOVE IS THE RECIPE I USE! YOU DONT HAVE TO KNEAD, YIPPEEE!!

ITS VERY CLOSE TO GRAM GALLOS!

 

I USE THE ELECTRIC MIXER TO COMBINE IT ALL TILL MOIST .

 

ITS IN A SEPARATE BOWL IN THE TUB TO KEEP THE DOG AWAY!! IT WILL NEED TO RISE FOR AT LEAST TWO HOURS!

 

NOW FOR GRAM GALLOS RICE BALLS!(recipe given to me by aunt pru)

I USED THREE BAGS COOKED COOLED WHITE RICE(SEE ABOVE)

A GOOD HANDFUL PARSLEY

AT LEAST ONE TUB PARM CHEESE(ABOUT 1 1/2 CUPS BUT TWO IS BETTER!)

5 BEATEN EGGS

AND SALT TO TASTE(MAKE SURE YOU TASTE IT AFTER ITS ALL COMBINED TO MAKE SURRRRE YOU TASTE THE SALT)

 

STIR IT ALL UP!

 

FORM THEM INTO SMALL EGG SHAPED BALLS.(ABOUT A PALM FULL)

FRY IN OIL.  JUST SLIGHT 1/2 INCH OIL.YOU WANT IT TO COME ABOUT HALF WAY UP THE RICE BALLS WHEN YOU FRY THEM.

DO ONE SIDE AT A TIME TILL EACH SIDE IS A NICE GOLDEN YELLOW AND THEN PUT THEM ON A PAPER TOWEL TO SOAK UP SOME EXCESS  OIL!

WA-LA,YOUR DONE!! I LIKE THEM BEST AT ROOM TEMP!

PS WATCH OUT WHEN YOU FRY CAUSE THE OIL FLIES EVERY WHERE!!

 

 

THIS IS CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE DOUGH A MADE THE OTHER DAY AND REFRIGERATED SO THE MESSY PART WAS DONE.

 

ALL BAKED NOW!

 

GOTTA HAVE THE RICE CRISPY TREATS ;] !

I FINISHED UP THE BAKED ZITI AND IM NOW BOILING POTATOS TO MAKE GRAM GREGORYS TATER SALAD. HAMS IN THE FRIDGE!

OH AND THE STUFFED EASTER BREAD IS DOING A SECOND RISE.

WILL ALSO MAKE SOME ITALIAN BREAD LOAFS TO GO WITH THE ZITI!

IM POOPED AND STILL HAVE CLEANING TO DO,WAHHHH!!

HAPPY EASTER TO YOU ALL!! I HOPE ITS WONDERFUL!! :}
