    We cooked this tonight; just finished dinner. It was WONDERFUL. I think I made the balls a little too big - would make them smaller the next time. Other than that, fantastic. Thanks, Karen!
    I've cooked/tasted this recipe!

        I love the idea of using soy flour! These must be loaded with protein and low in carbs. I'll give them a try this weekend!
