I Made These For Friends And Family Last Year And They Were a Huge Hit!

The end of last year was a little crazy for me and I felt bad for not being able to make a bunch of homemade gifts for everyone in my family. It’s not like I had to do it, but making gifts is the one thing that always puts me on the perfect holiday mood, and it’s such a wonderful feeling when you see how much your friends and family appreciate it.

At the very last minute I decided to search for crazy easy gift ideas, and that’s when the words “cookie mix in a jar” popped up. I knew that was it! So I did another search to find some kind of instructions and I found this brilliant recipe on From House To Home.

I had almost all of the ingredients at hand, so I just picked up some mason jars and chocolate chips, and I was ready to go. I printed out the instructions on how to bake the cookies, filled the jars, decorated with pretty ribbons and I think I was all done in less than an hour. Pretty awesome, if you ask me!

Let Your Slow Cooker Make Dinner For You Today!

Funny how you remember these random details from your childhood. I’ve noticed my memories often have something to do with food – either the everyday meals we had, or the special treats that we didn’t get often. I’m not sure which category would be better for stuffed bell peppers (probably neither), but I remember us having them just once. It was a regular weeknight meal, nothing fancy, but somehow it was special at least for me. I loved bell peppers and we had them all the time, but mostly just chopped and mixed into salads, or on a sandwich. For some reason that is the only time I remember Mom serving them. I guess the rest of the family didn’t enjoy it as much as I did!

Anyway, that memory immediately came back to me when I saw this recipe. But this isn’t your regular stuffed bell pepper recipe! This time it has been turned into a hearty soup – familiar flavors served in a new way. The best part is; the slow cooker is going to do all the work for you!

One Spoonful Of This Dessert And You’ll Be Hooked Forever

Every now and then you feel like having a nice dessert. I don’t mean after your meal – I mean having just dessert instead of your lunch! What? You don’t get that feeling? Well, I certainly do. And the only way to get rid of it is to make a quick and yummy dessert before your husband gets home and realizes that’s the only meal you’ve had all day. I may or may not have done that today – but if my husband asks, I’ll deny everything.

Just kidding, kind of! I did make this incredible berry crumble from the berries I happened to have in the freezer. And I did have only this for lunch today. But I’m not going to hide the dessert from my husband, no way! It’s way to delicious for that. Besides, how am I going to get a second portion of it after dinner tonight if I need to keep it a secret?

Quick Tip: Use any berries you have at hand for this crumble.

Even Your Grandma Would Beg For The Recipe

My mother-in-law makes the best meatballs in the world. At least that’s what I always thought!

I also thought I would never ever make her meatballs for dinner, because my recipes couldn’t even come close to the one she was using. It would be kind of embarrassing to serve her meatballs that were only mediocre, so I figured I wouldn’t even try.

But then I came across this recipe! I made these just for myself and my husband, just to see what they’re like. They turned out so tasty, and so different from any of the meatballs I had tried before, that I decided to make these for dinner when my in-laws were coming over. I was so nervous when my mother-in-law took the first bite! But she loved these as much as I did, and she even asked for the recipe! These sweet and sour meatballs are sure to become your favorite, too.

Quick Tip: Instead of using a skillet, you could brown the meatballs in the oven for about 2o minutes.
