Sweet & Sour Meatballs

Hey friends!

Well, I tried this new recipe for sweet & sour meatballs last week, and they were sooooooo good! I took what was left to the in-laws, and they liked them as well. In fact, my mother-in-law asked me today if I had put the recipe up on the blog yet because she wanted to make them herself.
I have made sweet & sour meatballs in the crockpot before, but I didn't like the way that they turned out. They did not keep their shape and turned out too mushy. Plus, I didn't care for the recipe that I had used for the sauce. This new recipe is fast and done on the stove top. It was great because you saute the meatballs first, and they stay firm and keep their shape. Plus, I thought that the sweet and sour sauce was delicious! I served these over white rice that I cooked in my rice cooker, and it was a fantastic weeknight dinner. I definitely recommend this recipe! 👍

Cream Cheese Teddy Graham Dip

Hey y'all! This is a sweet and yummy treat that I have made several times before. I found the recipe a few years ago in a sale paper at a local grocery store. It is SUPER easy....and has cream cheese! The hardest part is putting it in the refrigerator to give it time to cool and harden. This time I did not have any mini chocolate chips on hand, so I used regular sized chips, and they worked just fine! Also, I couldn't decide on which Teddy Grahams to use, so I bought two different kinds for dipping. This would be a great dessert for kids of all ages, or even those of us who are just kids at heart. 💗 🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻 Recipe from: CV's sale paper Total Time: 10 minutes Servings: about 10 Cream Cheese Teddy Graham Dip Ingredients: 8 oz. package of cream cheese 1/2 cup of butter, softened 3/4 cup of powdered sugar 2 tablespoons of brown sugar 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract 1 cup of mini semi-sweet chocolate chips Box of Teddy Grahams of your

Mocha Punch

Hey y'all! This punch can be customized with any coffee and chocolate ice-cream of your choosing. The original recipe did not call for whipped cream and chocolate sprinkles to be added, but I saw where someone commented that they did this, so I decided to try it. I must say that the punch was awesome by itself, but adding the toppings make it even better! It was soooooo creamy. Plus, who doesn't like chocolate sprinkles? If you have any left over you can even store it in an airtight container in your refrigerator and save for later! I just had a cup of what we had left, and it is still delicious even after the ice-cream has completely melted. This Mocha Punch would be great for a bridal shower, baby shower, birthday party, or even to celebrate the end of the school year! 😉 Enjoy! 🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈 Recipe from: "Allrecipes.com" Servings: around 20 small cups Mocha Punch Ingredients: 4 cups of brewed coffee of your choice 1/4 cup of su
