3-Ingredient Sweet and Sour Meatballs – Easy Last Minute Christmas Crockpot Recipe

I use affiliate links in some of my posts. I may earn a commission if you use my links. Full disclosure.

Please remember that I don’t eat this stuff so I did not test this recipe. I’m just posting so you can try it!

INGREDIENTS:
check for ingredient coupons here
2 lb (32 oz) frozen meatballs (beef or turkey)
1 jar (12 oz) chili sauce
1 1/2 cups grape jelly (see tips below)
(see my tips below)

DIRECTIONS:

1: Place meatballs into a slow cooker.

2: Combine jelly and chili sauce in a small bowl and pour over meatballs.

3: Cook on low for 3-5 hours or until meatballs are heated through.

Darlene’s Tips: Switch things up by swapping the grape jelly for a different flavor, such as apricot jelly, peach preserves or pineapple preserves.  You can also add other ingredients like chopped onions and peppers. If you don’t have a slow cooker, simply heat this on your stove top in a sauce pan.

I’m Making Selvage Scraps Fabric Blocks – It’s a New Addiction!!!

I use affiliate links in some of my posts. I may earn a commission if you use my links. Full disclosure.

I have officially fallen victim to another addiction.  Move over crumb quilting, I’ve got selvages calling out to me!

Before you even read this, run to your fabric trash and pull out all your selvages, even if they are only 2 inches long (that will cover a corner, baby!).  Then come back and finish reading this. And forgive yourself for ever tossing a selvage out. You won’t do it again.

I have known about sewing selvages together for quilts or other projects, but I just didn’t think I’d like the looks of that. I was completely wrong!  I frigging love selvage blocks!  I have been playing with ideas for a couple of weeks now and I want to show you everything. But I can’t.  At least not all in one video.

I’m going to start with some simple diagonal blocks and will share my tips on how to do them assmbly line style.  This is so quick and easy and fun! You are going to love it!

And the blocks are simply beautiful!

I just wanted to get you excited for a video tonight.  Not sure when it will be uploaded, but I really am aiming for tonight.  Be sure you subscribe to my channel and click that notification bell. Then I think there is a drop down or something so you can choose how you want to be notified.  I really don’t know, but other youtubers say that, so I’m saying it too. lol

Just subscribe to my channel already. And also join my Peanut Gallery group because I post all my videos in that group.  Be sure those notifications are on too.

“See” you tonight!  So excited!

Look at what happened today!  I hit 90K subscribers! For sure I will hit 100K in 2020! Thank you to all my subscribers!

Walmart Hot Deal – Fiskars 45 mm Classic Stick Rotary Cutter – Only $6.21 (reg $9.99)

I use affiliate links in some of my posts. I may earn a commission if you use my links. Full disclosure.

 

This hot deal on a Fiskars 45mm rotary cutter is still available!  It’s currently only $6.21.  I have this exact rotary cutter and I love it!

Fiskars 45 mm Classic Stick Rotary Cutter

I see that Walmart is pretty much sold out of all the 10 Packs of Blade Refills, but Amazon has a good deal on a 10 pack of refills here.


Walmart Info

Most items SHIP FREE to home with $35 purchase

Or order online and choose FREE Store Pickup (if available)

NOTE:  Clearance items are not always available in your store. They might be only in the warehouse. Many items can be ordered online and sent to your store and you can pick it up for free.  If you don’t like or it does not fit, you can return it directly to the store. So easy!

Availability can change at any time.  Once the clearance deals are posted, stuff sells out quick so these deals may be limited or no longer available.

SHOPPING TIP: If you get close to the $35 minimum, simply order other stuff you always buy including groceries! There are more and more grocery items available on Walmart.com now that you can have shipped to your home. I love ordering the big and heavy stuff for home delivery like 20 rolls of toiler paper or big jugs of laundry detergent, stuff like that. I do about half of my grocery shopping on Walmart.com now. So convenient!
