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

Foil-Pack Taco Chicken Dinner

Yes, I know it's been a while. Sorry guys, life's been a little hectic lately, but here is something I made the other night when I was crunched for time. It's so easy, and keeps the chicken so moist because of it being baked in the foil, melts in your mouth!! Foil-Pack Taco Chicken Dinner Ingredients: 4 small boneless skinless chicken breasts (1lb) 4 t taco seasoning mix 1/2 lb red potatoes (about 2), peeledd, thinly sliced 1 cup Tex Mex Shredded Cheese 1/2 cup salsa 1/4 cup sour cream Heat your oven to 400. Springle the chicken with seasoning mix. Place 1/4 of the potatoes on the center of each of 4 large sheets of heavy-duty foil;  top with chicken, cheese and salsa. Fold foil to make 4 packets, leaving room for heat circulation inside. Place on baking sheet. Bake 30-35 minutes, cool for 5. Cut slits in foil to release steam before opening them. Top with sour cream. Easy, right? Super yummy. I just sliced up some cucumbers and ate those right along si
