Meatballs with Rice

Hello Ladies!! Thanks so much for including me. This is so fun, and I'm going to love your recipes as I'm always looking for something new to try. As I told Leah, I love easy recipes, so here is a great EASY, YUMMY one that the kids should enjoy too.

MEATBALLS OVER RICE

Approx. 25 Meatballs (preferrably "dinner size")

1 can cranberry sauce

1 jar salsa

Mix cranberry sauce and salsa with a wire wisk. Pour sauce in a crockpot. Add frozen meatballs (I like Stauffers or even Walmart's). Cook on low 4-5 hours, or high 2-3 hours. Spoon meatballs and sauce over rice.

Enjoy!

Apple & Cranberry Jello Salad Recipe

8 yellow delicious apples
1 bag fresh cranberries
2 cups sugar
1 can drained, crushed pineapple
2 boxes strawberry jello
1 box cranberry jello
2 1/2 c. hot water

Grind the cranberries with the apples and set aside.  You can use a food processor to chop the fruit fairly fine but maintain it in a chunky state.

Dissolve the sugar and jello in water in a pan over a medium heat.  Remove from heat and add the fruit. Transfer to a serving bowl and chill for five hours or overnight.  Serve chilled.

* I made this last year and it was delicious as a side or as a sauce for the turkey.
