Easy Peasy Meatball Subs

Tonight I made easy peasy Meatball Subs!
Now the hubs always orders meatball subs at Subway and I always thought he was disgusting but being pregnant and all, they started to sound good to me. So I found a recipe on Pinterest and decided to try it!

Only 4 simple and cheap ingredients make up this yummy meal!

A Bag of frozen meatballs - I chose Italian Style
One can of Spaghetti Sauce - my go to is Hunts Garlic and Herb
Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
and Sub Rolls


That's it!

Place the entire bag of meatballs and  the whole can of sauce in the crockpot and mix well
Cook on high for 2-3 hours until meatballs are thoroughly cooked and sauce is hot

Warm up the buns in the oven if you'd like. I find it makes it hold better and doesn't get soggy!
Spoon the meatballs on the sub with a slotted spoon
top with a bit of the sauce and top with Mozzarella Cheese and a bit of grated parmesan if you have it and Voila! Easy Peasy Meatball Subs! I paired this with some sea salt and vinegar chips (because who wants to make a side dish? :P) and it went great with it since the subs are a tad on the sweeter side!




There was plenty for the family to eat and plenty more for leftovers!

This will definitely be a new favorite and is going into the meal rotation!

3 Ingredient Ranch Pork Chops - CrockPot

I'm currently hugely pregnant and have been searching for easy crockpot meals. I came across this one a while ago and pinned it to my What a Crock board on my Pinterest account.

I made it last night for the family and they loved it! So easy and so yummy. 




All you need is :
One Packet of Ranch Dressing Mix
One 10.5 oz can of Cream of Chicken
and Pork Chops

I used a 4 pack of center chops and there were still enough to pack up for hubby's lunch after all 5 of us ate!


Place the chops in the crockpot
Mix the soup with the ranch packet and pour over.
The blog I found this on says to add a half can of water but I found it took from the thickness and the taste so I would recommend you not doing that.
I also took about 7 or 8 small red potatoes and quartered them and laid them on top.
I cooked on high for 3 hours and then low for about 3 or 4

I made fresh corn on the cob to go with it!

SOOOOO good!

I would give this one 5 Lazy Thumbs Up!



I will definitely be adding this to our menu often!
Here's the link to the blog I acquired it from! <3

Yay My first post!!

If you're reading this then you are awesome! Thank you for stopping by my little blog to see what I have to say! I've never blogged before so please bear with me! I'm a newbie romance author, a wife to my high school sweetheart, and momma of 3, soon to be 4 little ones. The reason I decided to start this blog is because I've never been a person who loves to cook. Like ever. Around the holidays, yes!! I will cook up a storm but on a daily basis it's just a thorn in my side. When you spend your days taking care of little people all day everyday, the thought of whipping up a gourmet meal that takes forever to make for my family (especially when the little people usually waste it) just doesn't appeal to me! I like quick yet delicious meals that don't require 50 ingredients but that are good and will feed my growing family well especially on a budget. So that's why I've decided to start this blog, to share my love of meals for lazy cooks and moms who don't have the time or energy to stand at the stove all evening but who also don't want their children to be raised on the unknown contents of the fast food industry. I will share some recipes that I have learned from family members as well as some that I find and try on the web that pass my family's taste test. I do love to bake when the mood strikes so I will share those recipes as well when the time comes!

I hope I can help other exhausted mommas out there who want to feel like they're executing their motherly duties while still having the energy to get the kids bathed and in bed for the night before falling over.

I hope you'll join me on this journey!!


XOXO,
Rae
