  1. This is why I don't ever trust diet recipes. There was nothing really wrong with this, I guess. They were just horribly bland. Also, marbles are *really small*. Kind of a waste of time - my thinking is this is meant to be a dough-less wonton or something. I also didn't really understand parsley in a "Shanghai" dish.
     
  2. Nice flavor, and low-carb, to boot! These fit well in my eating plan, and are easy to make. The boys loved them, too. I used up some ground chicken breast I already had, so prep was even easier. Will definitely make again.
