Easy Teriyaki Meatballs #recipe #dinner #freezermeals

Over the weekend, it was all about Operation: Stock the Freezer in my kitchen. I whipped up...

Asian Chicken with Onions for the crockpot
Honey Garlic Chicken with Peppers for the crockpot
Ravioli Lasagna
Ravioli side dish
Honey Garlic Meatballs
Italian Meatballs with Mini Potatoes
Butter Biscuits
Chocolate Chip Biscuits {that are so tasty I likely will have to make another batch before baby gets here!}

I also made these...Easy Teriyaki Meatballs. The smell while they were in the oven was amazing, and I'm really excited to serve them over some steamed rice, with a side of veggies, once the baby get here!

Preheat your oven to 400F

Mix together...

1lb extra lean ground beef (or chicken or turkey, whatever you prefer!)
2 tsp garlic powder
dash of black pepper
3 turns of the salt mill
1/4 cup instant oatmeal
4-5 tbsp Epicure Teriyaki dry rub

Roll into palm sized meatballs. With my hands, this recipe made 8 meatballs.

Bake for 20-25 mins until cooked through.

Serve over rice, with a side of steamed or stir fried veggies.

Don't have a teriyaki dry rub on hand? Add in equal parts of garlic powder, soy sauce, chive or green onion, sesame seeds, onion powder and red pepper flakes.

SWH4T$: Quick and Easy Strawberry Tips

We've all been there and done that...lopped the leaves and stems off our strawberries and cut away nearly half of the berry itself.

Here's a tip that will save you time, money and berries!

May I introduce to you...the straw method!

Simply get a straw, and slide it through the core of the berry and out through the top! Remove the stem and leaves, repeat with the rest of our quart!

It's seriously so easy, and will save you a tonne on clean up time, and prep time when you're actually doing the task. Get the kiddos involved to...no sharp knives, and they can snack on a healthy fruit all at the same time!

Happy Summer!
