WARNING: May cause hunger :D

A few weeks ago, Mom said that we had some meat that had to be cooked. I REALLY like meatballs. Regular, BBQ, Sweet and sour. Well, I decided to create a recipe for BBQ meatballs. This is the best recipe out of these BY FAR!!



       Part one             -3 tbs. Sweet baby rays hickory brown sugar BBQ sauce
                             -2 tbs. Ketchup
                             -1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
                             -1 1/2 tsp. WILLIAM-SONOMA Jalapeno Peach BBQ sauce (is NOT spicy. My mom even likes it, and she is VERY sensitive to spicy food)
                            -1 1/2 cups Ground meat



Mix together everything but meat. Add in meat. Stir. Shape into balls. Cook in a pan. The pan does NOT need to be oiled.

       When meatballs are almost done cooking, add in:
        
   -3 tbs. BBQ sauce (same as above)                                 PART TWO
   -2 tbs. ketchup
  -1 1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  -1 tbs. WILLIAM-SONOMA Jalapeno peach BBQ sauce
  -1 tsp mustard

Mix. Add in pan with meatballs. Cook till meatballs are done. Serve. Makes 14 meatballs




Sadly, no pics of that recipe, but is very easy.





Recipe 2: BBQ meatballs


  -3 tbs. Sweet Baby Rays BBQ sauce                            PART ONE
  -2 tbs. Ketchup
  -1 1/2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
  -1/2 tsp. Mustard
  -Dash of Hot sauce
  -Pinch of Brown sugar
  -1 1/2 cups ground meat



Mix everything but meat in a bowl. Add in meat. Stir. Shape into balls. Cook in a not oiled pan.

When meatballs are almost fully cooked, add in:

  -3 tbs. Sweet Baby Rays BBQ sauce                    PART TWO
  -2 tbs. Ketchup
  -1 1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  -1 tsp Mustard
  -Dash of Hot sauce
  -1 tsp. brown sugar

Stir, then pour over meatballs. When meatballs are fully cooked, serve.   Makes 14 meatballs.



Pictures will later be posted.






Recipe 3



Sloppy Joe meat



For this recipe, first, do the same things as Recipe 2, part one, except for  add 2 1/2 cups meat, and do not make into balls.


Cook all meat at once. When fully cooked add in everything in Recipe 2 part two. Stir. Add in 1/2 cup chopped carrots, and 1/2 cup chopped onions. Stir. Add in 3-4 tbs ketchup. Mix. Add in 1 8 oz can tomato sauce and 1 tbs BBQ sauce. When fully cooked and heated, serve.





CAUTION: DO NOT USE FAMOUS DAVE'S BBQ SAUCE!!! (too spicy)



I will try to post pictures within the next 48 hours.


                 REVIEWS
 on Sloppy Joes



Dad: "Mmm! Mmmmm! YUM! The best"
Mom; "Delicious"
Seth: "Needs more meat. Yum! Can you make this again? You should use Sweet Baby rays instead of Famous Dave's."
Me: "Needs more meat. Yummy! Too spicy, but that is because I used Dave's sauce. TOTALLY going to make it again."




p.s. I only used 1 1/2 cups meat when I made it, so I added extra in the recipe. Only recipe 3 needed more, and that is the one I added more meat to on the blog. So Just follow the Blog recipes.



If you make any, Tell me what you think! If you want, you can serve the sloppy joe meat plain or on a bun.

Jewelery making

At girls camp, (which I will later post about), we made jewelery. Each girl hammered in a saying to a dog tag, and then decorated another with scrapbook paper, stickers etc. We also made two bead charm things that hang on our necklaces. One was a pearl, which we all made, and the other was a charm thing with beads of our choice.


Around the camp, there were ten hidden pictures of liahonnas. If you found all ten, you got a key ring, but on it was a pink bead and a charm that said things like "trust, love, live, true". Mine says trust. I went to a leader with a group of my friends who found all ten. I lied and said I found all ten, and got a charm. The lady who gave out the charms is in our ward. Later that night, she came to our campsite and gave each of us one. I didn't take one since I already have one, but the other girls took one even if that made their second  charm.   Since she did that, I just say that it is from when she gave everyone a charm.


Our ward color was red, and we each tied a red ribbon to our necklace. So simple, but yet it adds so much to the necklace and is really cute!




The seventh thing on my necklace is a bottle cap with a center covered with scrapbook paper, on it, it says TRUE.   




So if you are confused, here are the things on my necklace:


-hand hammered-stamped dog tag that says "Prepare for battle"
-scrapbook paper covered dog tag
-bead charm that I made
-pearl charm that I made
-red ribbon
-TRUST keyring charm
-TRUE bottlecap

Eating out

In the past four days, we have eaten our three times. We have had Olive Garden, Cafe Rio, and Macayo. At Olive Garden, I had the Ravioli Di Portebello. It is six or nine cooked portebello mushrooms in ravioli, and is covered in a cheesy sun dried tomato sauce. At Cafe Rio, I had a mild chicken burrito. Delicious! And tonight at Macayo, I had the free chips and salsa, five glasses of water (still have only gone to the bathroom once, and I am fine, strange huh?), and the sampler tray. I only had a toquito, salad, mini  burrito, (MINI. Like half the lenght of a greeting card), and rice. I was STUFFED from those 5 glasses of water. Before bed last night, I drank 2 bottles.
But anyways, we have eaten out a lot, and it is bugging me. I like home cooked meals. At least I have the skill of cooking.

P.S. if something is spelled wrong, forgive me. The spell check sucks.

Yummy food?............. I'M SO IN!

Today is national chocolate pudding day.  I got to call my parents to ask them to get the stuff for some pudding. Is there a national Salad day? Or perhaps a national DOVE chocolate day? (the square kind with caramel in the middle.) If so, that is all I am eating on those days. =) Well, Mom and Dad are home now, so I am going to have some pudding. Chocolate pudding, to be exact.

It is summer already! I have recently read a blog that I love, and will now post like. (There is a new post like every other day at least. The post are maybe only a paragraph long, but I LOVE having something new to read every day.) Well, Summer is actually boring. I have no transportation, except for my bike, and I have a HUGE new sunburn. Post for Ya' later! Posted by SYDNEE at 6:06 pm
