Salsa Meatballs

Looking for something to take to the Superbowl party? Want to make sure you have a protein to eat? I got your back! Salsa meatballs! They are so yummy and so filling! Are you ready for some football (and meatballs)?!!!

While we're on the subject of Superbowl parties, here's a couple of hints for you.

   1. Look at all the food available before you put even one thing on your plate. Then decide what you really want and take a small amount of just a few things.
   2. Remember to eat mindfully. Have a great time, but remember that you are consuming food and that the calories, fats, and carbs will still count even though you are watching THE GAME.
   3. Remember to have fun; don't let the fear of dealing with all that food throw you. It's a buffet...choose what you want to eat and enjoy yourself! Then leave the food alone!

Salsa Meatballs

1 package frozen meatballs (about 64)
1  12-16 ounce jar salsa
1 jar sugar free peach preserves (I use Smucker's)

Put preserves in a small saucepan and turn fire to medium low. When preserves start to melt, add the salsa. Cook for a couple of minutes until preserves are melted and mixed well with the salsa.

Add the meatballs to the crockpot and pour the sauce on top. Stir to mix. Cook on low 8-10 hours or on high about 5 hours.

Keep warm in the crockpot during the party and be sure to root for the winning team!!!

Cinnamon Vanilla Shake

Do you remember how I told you to get creative with your vanilla shakes? Well I did this afternoon and was pleasantly surprised. I like the Cinnamon Vanilla Creme coffee creamer in my coffee at night sometimes. So I decided to try it in a vanilla shake. Oh.my.gosh! Yummy! Here's what you do...make a vanilla shake and add about 2 teaspoons or so of the coffee creamer. That's it! It's not too cinnamony (that can't possibly be a real word!), just really good. Try it out!
