CARROT MEATBALLS
This is a variation from an OLD Betty Crocker cookbook. My son asks for these regularly!! They're a great way to get kids to eat veggies, they're fairly low calorie, and scrumptious, to boot! We usually eat them with rice and salad. I also tend to make a double recipe because they're great as leftovers, too. (if you get tired of making meatballs, save the meat and make more the next day, OR make an egg stirfry with spinach! That's tasty too, I've found!) Also, please keep in mind that the Prep-time listed is for using a Salad Shooter or similar for grating the carrots. If you don't have something like that, doing the grating by hand should add another 15 minutes or so, depending on you!

Steps:
- Prepare all ingrediatns as listed above and mix well. I prefer using my stand-mixer with the open paddle-blade.
- Form into 1/8 cup meatballs and place in a baking pan, preferably a broiler pan, especially if using a higher-fat content meat. (I use an 1/8 cup measuring spoon and pack the meat into it on the side of the bowl, then use another spoon to pull it out and form the balls a little better on the pan--quicker than trying to do it by hand and less messy!).
- Bake at 350* for 15-20 minutes. (The cook book suggested frying them, and serving with a brown gravy, but baking is healthier, and the gravy only covers the great flavor!).

Steps:
- In a large bowl, combine carrots, marshmallows, pineapple chunks, raisins, and coconut.
- Toss lightly to mix.
- Mix in mayonnaise.
- Carefully fold in whipped cream.
- (the recipe doesn't say, but I think you should whip it first!) Can be frozen.
Tips:
- For the best results, use fresh carrots. If using store-bought shredded carrots, rinse them well before using.
- Grate the carrots finely. This will help them blend better with the other ingredients.
- Be sure to wring out the grated carrots well before adding them to the mixture. This will help prevent the balls from becoming too wet.
- If the mixture is too dry, add a little more mayonnaise. If it is too wet, add a little more shredded carrots.
- For a sweeter ball, add more sugar. For a tangier ball, add more vinegar.
- Chill the balls for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will help them firm up and make them easier to handle.
- Garnish the balls with chopped nuts, shredded carrots, or a sprinkle of paprika before serving.
Conclusion:
Carrot marshmallow balls are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or party appetizer. They are perfect for potlucks, picnics, or any other gathering. With their sweet and tangy flavor, these balls are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy snack, give carrot marshmallow balls a try!
