Crockpot Meatballs

What an ugly picture. I know my picture is horrible but it is what it is. I tried several times but just couldn’t get one that was any better…until I plated them. Ok, maybe that one just looks better because I was ready to eat! Wouldn’t it be great if we could use some of that scanner software to transport food back and forth? Because let me tell you, these are fabulous, regardless of how ugly my picture is! This is Tate’s most favorite dish. He asks for it often and can never seem to get enough of them. Don’t get me wrong, we all love them, they are just Tate’s most favorite dish ever.

They are easy to make too. Don’t let the ingredient list fool you, they aren’t complicated to make at all! I always double or triple the recipe because one batch is never enough. And when one batch isn’t enough, you know it’s a good recipe. Yummm, let’s go eat!

Ingredients

6   cloves chopped garlic
2   (8-ounce) cans pineapple, save the juice
1   diced onion
1/2 cup Dijon mustard
1 lb cooked meatballs
4 cups ketchup
1/4 cup water
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 cup of sugar
1/4 cup white Vinegar
2 TBSP Black pepper
3 tablespoons pineapple juice

Directions

Throw everything  except for the meatballs in a slow-cooker, mix well  then add the meatballs and cook on High for 4 hours or Low for 8 hours.

Crockpot Meatballs and Rice

My family likes the meatballs served on a bed of rice. You could do noodles or just meatballs with sides and it is just as good.

Today we will celebrate Mother’s Day with my mother…and all of the family will be here. So, I have been busily cleaning and preparing all of the food for our celebration. We always have a great time when we all get together and hang out and thankfully we try to do just that fairly often. I had something being custom made for my Mom, but it hasn’t arrived, which puts me in a tizzy about what to do. SO, I am off to Big Town with a few ideas in mind and hope to high heavens one of them will pan out. I am funny about gifts. I like to put alot of thought into any gift. I want it to be personal. I want it to be special. And the wrapping is just as important to me as what is inside. One of my most favorite gifts to give is a tree and a photo album to celebrate the birth of a new baby. The tree is to be planted the same week the baby is born and every year a picture is to be taken of the child with their tree, said picture goes in their album. It symbolizes growth. It symbolizes roots. It symbolizes love.

What is your favorite gift to give for any occasion?

What will you give your Mother on this special day?

Even if your Mother isn’t alive I know that you will celebrate the impact she has had on your life and you will honor her with memories filled with love and longing. For no matter how old we grow, we still long to have our Mothers around for different events in our lives. My Father has been gone for about 9 years now, but I do still have my Mother…and I will celebrate!

For all you Mothers out there…I hope that you each and every one have the best Mother’s Day of your life. For all you children (no matter how old you are) please give thanks to the one that brought you into this world and honor her in a way that is special and meaningful…even if it is with a hand drawn card simply saying I Love You Mom!
