Weird Things I Do in my Sleep + Baked Falafel Balls!

Good morning lovelies! I hope you all had a luuurvely Thursday and are ready to celebrate Indulgence Friday!:)

I don’t know about the rest of you, but I am ready for the weekend! Thursdays tend to be my favorite day of the week because I always know that Friday is right around the corner:)

First of all, I wanted to say thank you for your beautiful comments on my post on the Black Swan in All of Us and my FAQT’s post from yesterday that answered a lot of the questions I’ve been getting lately. Check them out!

I also have to thank you for being the best readers I could ever have! The last week has been filled with record-high numbers of hits for CK, and I cannot be more thankful! You all keep me blogging every day, and I love each and every one of you🙂

Secondly, Chef Katelyn has been revamped! If you’re reading from your Google Reader or e-mail, take a second to click over to the bloggity blog and have a look! I spent an embarrassing amount of time on the improvements, so have a look and I will love you forever🙂 (except we’re all best friends anyways, that is why I love my bloggy boos so much!).

HALT! Quick note:

Today a friend of mine and I created the Next Big Thing.

We are calling them….CARROT BALLS🙂

You thought I was joking, didn’t you?

Oh and by the way, the skinny looking one is a baseball bat.

Just so you know.

This came about because I was enjoying my carrots in Lit, and then found a carrot that was shaped just. like. a tiny ball.

I showed my friend and she said that it would be a cool new product.

So what did we do?

We both exclaimed, CARROT BALLS! At the same. time.

Telepathy, I tell you:)

So if you are interested in purchasing Carrot Balls and a Baseball Barrot (ha), please call 1-800-CARROT-BALLS and we will promptly mail some to you.

p.s. That is my gorgeous lunch box, sorry about the awesome lighting, my classes don’t exactly dig the whole “natural light” thing;)

Weird Things I Do in my Sleep

So, I have a little story for you.

Okay, it’s actually a ton of stories all wrapped up in one.

Ever since I was little, I have done strange things in my sleep.

Flinging my legs every which way.

Waking up with my comforter in the hallway (this one stumped me too).

Finding my Droid in between my sheets instead of on my desk (on the other side of the room) where I had left it the night before.

Wearing a different outfit than I went to sleep in (not a joke).

Waking up in the kitchen, eating Cheez-Its (my pre-vegan days).

Waking up to the sound of my own voice.

Oh, by the way. I talk in my sleep. Don’t have a sleepover with me. Or do, and laugh your face off. I say some crazy stuff!

But if there’s one thing I haven’t done in my sleep (but totally could) it’s make these falafel balls.

Quick, simple, and way more delicious-looking than they do in this picture. Sorry, the ones I ate on a plate were gone too quickly for photography:)

Baked Falafel Balls

Inspired by OhSheGlows

Makes about 20-22 Falafel Balls, based on your size preference.

Ingredients:

• 2 cans (or 3 cups) garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed
• 1/4 cup chopped red onion
• 1/2 tsp. paprika
• 1/2 tsp. cumin
• 1/2 tsp. tumeric
• 1/2 cup garbanzo bean flour
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 4 tbsp. water, more if necessary (a tablespoon at a time)

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and lightly grease a cookie sheet with olive oil.
2. Combine all ingredients in a food processor.
3. Form into patties with your hands, and place on greased cookie sheet.
4. Bake for 15 minutes, then flip with a spatula (carefully! they fall apart easily) and bake for another 15 minutes.
5. Serve in a pita, on a salad, in a wrap, or with ketchup!

No, I was not joking when I said with ketchup. My little sister absolutely loves these, and said that they taste better than chicken nuggets! (which is saying a lot, considering we’re vegan)

That’s all for now lovlies! See you later tonight for a recap of my Indulgence Friday!

We have a half day today (this never happens), which means I only have three classes…what whaaaat! Looks like I’ll have time to go to the gymmy gym gym!

Then later tonight, I’ll be going out to dinner with the sista and then baking something delecably delicious, so keep your eyes out for some yummy:)

Do you do anything weird in your sleep?

Hahahaha yes.

Do you ever find weirdly-shaped food?

I once found a chip that looked like Abe Lincoln’s head! It. was. epic:)

What do you like to dip in ketchup?

Um, EVERYTHING.

Happy Indulging, loves!
