Thanks a bunch for trying a few recipes, glad you've enjoyed them. Always makes my day to hear that. <br /><br />You know, I've been loving coconut oil... and I love to fry with it as well. But it is important not to heat the coconut oil too high either. However, I like to use it mainly because I noticed minimal lingering frying smell in my house when I fry in coconut oil.... I also love the flavor of the coconut oil:). But it can get to be expensive.... however, if you use a small pot and fry in batches you can make the oil go longer. Just remember that it is an oil that doesn't have a very high smoke point... best to fry at 350 deg F. <br /><br />Canola oil works very well too, but I haven't bought it in ages. <br /><br />I love to use grapeseed oil and avocado oil also, when I have it on hand... because they have a high smoke point(400-450 deg F) and you don't need to worry about keeping the oil at a lower temp.... as long as the oil is refined. Unrefined oils have a much lower smoke point. <br /><br />You could use safflower oil or sunflower oil as well, as their smoke point is usually in the 400 deg F range.<br /><br />Yikes, what a long answer, but hope that helps:). And thanks for stopping by.

Do you recommend some oil? I have olive oil and canola and coconut in the house, I know olive oil shouldn't be heated at high temperature.

I've been here for four year, but it has been hard to find recipes for most food here,since so much is just passed on to the next generation without a written recipe. Your website helps me make some of his favorite foods. Happy husband...happy wife! :) God bless!<br />KristieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8590241869561905455.post-58818378003701093432014-03-25T13:46:37.151-07:002014-03-25T13:46:37.151-07:00Hi Lavi:),

If you feel the mixture is too soft to form into meatballs, just add a bit more bread.... If the meat is too dense, add a bit more milk or egg. <br /><br />Thank you for your kind comment.... so glad I could be of help:)!

I don't have any white bread, I do have bread crumbs but the are Italian and I don't want to add then since they have Italian seasoning added. By the way, thank you so much for your blog. I too am Romanian and I come back often to your blog when I can't understand my moms writing lol( you know that old school,all caps romo handwriting). Thank you again!<br /><br />Lavi:)Laviheartsjoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09183136689772489438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8590241869561905455.post-89981494544577639982013-03-02T18:20:57.230-08:002013-03-02T18:20:57.230-08:00Adina, Oh, you are so very welcome!
