I love taking bits and pieces from the past and creating something new to enjoy. A tiny piece of lace or an old picture is my inspiration. I think if these elements could talk, they would have such an interesting story to tell.
We woke up to a nice covering of snow this morning! Much earlier than usual for the Willamette Valley, but it's here just the same. I know it has played havoc with the morning commute, but it has helped get me into the holiday mood. I know that sounds odd since I just completed a few holiday shows. However, once the shows are over (usually before Thanksgiving) I have to decorate our home. Sometimes it is hard to be up for it after decorating and taking down, then a couple times more at various venues. Soooo, a little dusting is just the thing to get me in the spirit of things.
Several of you asked for the glazed meatball recipe that we served at the Holiday Treasures Show. It is super easy and only three ingredients.
So here it is: Cran-Chili Meatballs!
2 - 12 oz jars of chili sauce
2-3 cans of whole cranberry sauce - depends on how saucey you want them
1 bag frozen meatballs, We used the ones from COSTCO that have about 140 per bag.
Put chili sauce and cranberry sauce in a pot and heat until all is melted. Stir often. Add frozen meatballs; heat until meatballs are thawed and then simmer for 3 hours. We moved them to a crockpot to keep them warm. You could use a chafing dish.
