Stuffing Meatballs

We have a busy night and I had the opportunity to make dinner ahead of time.  Tonight's menu?  Stuffing Meatballs, Salad, and Rolls.

I find a lot of my recipes from Taste Of Home.  This one was no exception.  The great thing is, this recipe only has 4 ingredients!  You can find the link to it here: Stuffing Meatballs.

Here is my little helper, crushing up the stuffing.  If your dry stuffing mix is in cubes, place it in a ziploc baggic and crush it with a rolling pin.

The meatballs only have 2 ingredients.  The brown up quickly in a pan.

While the meatballs were browning, I whipped up some salads.  If you are making them ahead of time just cover with saran wrap and put in your fridge.

Here is the finished product.  All I have to do now is heat up the rolls.  I recommend Rhodes Garlic Butter Rolls.  Where I shop I can get them for $1.00 with a coupon.  These are so yummy!!!

If you have any quick and easy recipes, please share the recipe or link!

Coupons!

I have been wanting to start a blog for months.  I am constantly doing craft projects, cooking, baking, doing something fun with my kids.  Every time I do one of these, I think "If I had a blog I would share this".  Well, I started my blog last week, and have had the most boring week ever!  So sorry, that I have not posted more.

I would like to share about my couponing experience at the grocery store tonight.  If you are new to couponing and would like a little help, just let me know!  I am not quite as savvy as the people you might see on TV, but I've got a pretty good start and it helps our family quite a bit.

Here is how I did tonight:
1 FREE travel packet of Tide detergent
2 FREE tubes of Colgate toothpaste
3 FREE jars of Vlasic pickles (my daughters eat these by the handful)
2 cans of Pure Silk shaving cream for $0.14 each
1 box Nature Valley Granola Thins for $0.50

Did you use coupons this week?  Share your best finds!

Homemade Drumsticks

My first post!!!  Thanks for reading this.  Feel free to leave any comments or suggestions as I am new to blogging.  If you could share the link with your friends or on your page that would be great!

A few weeks ago I was viewing a blog I check out often- Homemade By Jill.  She had a link over to Skip To My Lou for homemade rhythm instruments!  I made the drumsticks only.  If you decide to make these for your little ones a few tips- don't use Crayola washable paint.  It will get soaked up on the wood and will not show up.  I bought 6 packs of paint in different color schemes at JoAnn Fabrics for $1 each set.  I only needed two coats of paint.  Here is another tip, check out the dowels at the hardware store.  I had to go back because when they were cut the pieces were unbelievably uneven and crooked.  Make sure they are pretty close to even.  Another shortcut I did was purchasing spray on polyeurethane.  I did not feel like messing with a can and a brush.  I found this at my local hardware store.

Good luck making these drumsticks.  Your children will love them!

So how did I do on my first post???
