2 teaspoon garlic; minced — **
1 cup Progresso italian flavored
2 teaspoon parsley
breadcrumbs (approx.)
1 med. onion — finely chopped
1 egg
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup Parmesan cheese
* The old country way is a mixture of 1/3 beef, 1/3 pork and 1/3-veal ground together. But I think beef is much better.
** Heaping Tsp., save time by using the jar of pre-chopped garlic. Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl with your hands making sure everything is well mixed. Form into meatballs and fry
*** in a large skillet with about 1/2 cup olive oil over medium high heat. Turn on all sides to brown and cook through. When all the way cooked, add them to your sauce and let them cook slowly for about 1 hour.
*** Can also be browned in the oven on a baking or broiler rack. This will produce less greasy but also drier meatballs.

Buckwheat Pecan Pancakes For Camping

1/2 t Salt
2/3 c Wheat flour
2 t Baking powder
2/3 c dry milk,Instant
3 T egg (optional),Dried
IN SMALL TIGHT CONTAINER =======
2 T Oil

ADD WHEN MIXING ================

PACK FOR TOPPING WHEN DONE =====
1/4 c Butter (optional)
1 c Maple syrup
This is a camping recipe. Assume moderate heat on a campfire or pack stove.
When ready to cook, mix all ingredients except the butter and syrup and let set a couple minutes. If stiff, add a little more water. If you heat the pan well first, no oil is necessary; however you will need a good, flat metal spatula. If I have time, I plop 3 or 4 pecan halves on each cake instead of mixing them in. Serve hot with butter and syrup. Can be saved for later in the day; great with jam.
