Eggplant Mozzarella Falafels

I've never done a recipe blog but I'm pretty proud of this creation so here goes.

I had a few random veggies in my fridge and falafel mix so I made it up as I went and it was Delicious and pretty healthy!

You will need:

Eggplant ( 3 cups diced )

Celery ( 3 stalks diced )

Green onions ( 1/4 cup minced )

Part skim Mozzarella cheese ( 6 oz diced )

Crushed mint ( 1 1/2 tbsp )

Dill ( 2 tbsp )

Basil ( 2 tbsp )

Egg ( 1)

Whole wheat flour ( 3/4 cup )

Falafel mix or bread crumbs ( 2 cups )

Canola oil or whatever cooking oil you prefer ( about 3 cups )

Mix the eggplant, celery, green onions, Mozzarella, crushed mint, dill, basil, egg and flour together in a bowl until the consistency is a bit doughy and form medium sized balls with it. add flour if needed.

In a deep pan bring the canola oil to a slight boil on high heat. cover the balls with the falafel mix and drop into oil. Fry them for about 15 - 30 seconds each and remove. 

Gah! so yummy.

 I did the math and figured out that each Falafel ball is about 60 calories.

Enjoy!

I cursed God the day you died

I am a rootless tree, a flightless bird.

Where once I would dig myself into the ground

or yearn for the sky

My palm is open, my grip is loose. I float along.

yet haunted by these memoriess of you...

I am content, decidedly so.

I hear your laughter I see your smile

In every event that is meant to break me.

I have buried you both in every place I've been.

How sweetly my heart was made to ache...

You

I felt the loss of years culminate in a moment. I felt so small and unimportant watching you shut me out of your plans, I felt the sting of indifference and I fell apart. Helpless I am always, to keep the ones I love... Life feels little more then a cruel joke that keeps repeating it's disdain for all I desire. When will I finally learn and accept that at the end of the day it is only me. There is no one to rescue me , there is no one to ease my pain or share my days. i am meant to ache...alone.
