Hawaiian Meatballs

This is a nice change from the typical meatballs you make for dinner with spaghetti, or the Italian meatballs you make as an appetizer.

This dinner is a nice little trip to paradise in your mouth. It only has a couple ingredients and doesn't have to cook as long as most dinners that you put in the crock pot.

Serve it over rice (I used brown rice, because I LOVE it) or just eat it plain, either way it's delicious. The sauce is so flavorful and takes no effort at all to make.

Definitely an easy weekday dinner to make!

Hawaiian Meatballs

Ingredients:
-32 oz package of precooked, frozen meatballs
-13.5 oz can of unsweetened pineapple chucks (put juice aside)
-1 large green pepper, diced (I cut mine into bigger chunks so they wouldn't get that "soggy" texture)
-1 cup brown sugar
-2T cornstarch
-2/3 cup vinegar
-2T soy sauce

Place meatballs in crock pot and top with green pepper and drained pineapple chunks. In a separate bowl, mix reserved pineapple juice, brown sugar, cornstarch, vinegar, and soy sauce. Pour sauce over meatballs, pineapple and green peppers. Cook on low for 3-4 hours.

White Chocolate Chip & Cranberry Cookies

I was craving a cookie but didn't want an old fashion chocolate chip, or something over powering with sweetness. I had all of these ingredients just sitting in my pantry waiting for me to use to make something quick & delicious.  I would say they're healthy for you since i used dried cranberries...but i feel like that would be pushing it :-P Ingredients: -3/4 cup softened butter -3/4 cup brown sugar -1/2 cup white sugar -1 egg -2t vanilla -1 3/4 cup flour -1/4t salt -1/2t baking soda -1 cup dried cranberries -1 cup white chocolate chips Lets get this party started: Preheat oven to 350 Blend butter, sugars, egg & vanilla until smooth.  Stir in flour, salt & baking soda (it gets pretty stiff). Add white chocolate chips & cranberries. (at this point i just hand stirred everything in instead of having the dough get stuck to the whisks on the electric mixer). Drop by rounded teaspoons on baking sheet, space them about...

No Bake Peanut Butter Cookies

I'm not going to lie, I had no idea what a "no bake" was until a friend of mine told me his favorite cookies were no bakes (this was around Christmas time when I go cookie crazy!). So I looked up a recipe and ended up falling in LOVE with them. They're so quick to make. This recipe here took me (start to finish) 20 minutes to do. So if you want something sweet and have nothing in the pantry to snack on, just whip these up super quick (because you should have everything you need already at home!) and enjoy! No Bake Peanut Butter Cookies Ingredients: - 2 cups sugar - 1/4 cup margarine - 1/2 cup milk - 1 cup peanut butter - 1t vanilla - 3 cups rolled oats (old fashioned) In a large saucepan, mix sugar, margarine and milk; bring to a full rolling boil over medium heat.  Boil for one minute, stirring constantly.  Remove from heat and stir in peanut butter and vanilla, stirring until peanut butter is melted; stir in oats. Working quickly, drop spoonfuls on...

A "little bit of everything" cookie
