Little updates

For the past 16 days I've been participating in the happy challenge. Every day I take a picture of something that makes me happy and share it on facebook. I love this challenge. It truly has made me approach my day a bit different- looking closer at the little things in my day. Things that sometimes go unnoticed, but more importantly- still make me happy!

Just a few of my happy posts!

In other news we bought a new refrigerator was delivered yesterday, we can FINALLY take down the Christmas lights outside since the snow is (mostly) gone, and I'm hosting a game night tonight. All exciting (and happy) things too! Life in my little lively life is good :)

Cooking yummies!

I love cooking. Both old recipes and new ones too. Now the clean up part- that I don't love! But who does really?!? Pinterest has been a great site to get connected with multiple recipes to try- and I've done just that- tried and LOVED most of the things that I've tried.

Not from Pinterest, however a beloved recipe indeed. This recipe also gave me my happy day #2- remembering my mom making this delicious recipe. So basic and quick, yet I would often ask for it for my birthday dinner! Go figure. Try it out. Let me know what you think!

Sweet and Sour Meatballs

1 onion, chopped

¾ teaspoon seasoned salt

1 (10 ¾ oz) can tomato soup

3 tablespoons lemon juice

¼ cup brown sugar, firmly packed

1 lb ground beef

1 (13 ¼ oz) can pineapple chunks, drained

Combine onion, salt, soup, lemon juice and brown sugar in glass dish. Microwave 3-5 minutes or until simmering- stirring halfway through cooking time.

Roll ground beef into 1-inch diameter meatballs. Place meatballs in above sauce. Spoon some sauce mixture over meatballs. Microwave 6-7 minutes or until meat is cooked through.

Stir in pineapple. Microwave for 1 minute.
