Honey Garlic Meatballs

As of three weeks ago, I had never tried a slow cooker meatball recipe in my life! My argument for this was that it's only meatballs. If I'm going to use a slow cooker, I'd at least like to make a full meal with it.

For Baby's first birthday party, I wanted a selection of meat to label it "Carnivore Cave" for a dinosaur-themed party. So I decided to try this honey garlic meatballs recipe, and it is so delicious! This can be served as an hors d'oeuvre, or you can throw it on top of rice or pasta! 

Ingredients

1/4 cup brown sugar

1/3 cup honey

1/2 cup ketchup

2 TB soy sauce

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 (28oz)  bag fully cooked, frozen meatballs

Green Smoothie

Straying a bit from the dinner theme, here's my go-to green smoothie recipe. I drink a green smoothie every day - or every day I can manage. One batch in the blender usually lasts me three days, unless Hubby takes some - and sometimes he does, because it's so delicious! You can't even taste the spinach (and I'm not lying). This smoothie really cleanses me and helps prepare me for a healthy day. I drink one every morning as part of my goal to have veggies with every meal. I highly recommend it!

Ingredients
2 cups spinach
2 cups water*
2 bananas
1 cup frozen mangos
1 cup frozen pinapple

*For a thinner drink, I usually do 2 cups juice (your choice - I use Cran-Grape) and 1/2 cup water. I prefer my smoothies to have the consistency of juice instead of frosties. Adding juice will also make it sweeter.
