Children are not a burden to escape or endure; they are a blessing that drives us to Christ because we are incapable of parenting well without Him. - Kim Brenneman

cloudy with a chance of meatballs

Today was cold and wet and i woke up sick and tired but I really want to share a GF recipe before i lay my weary body into bed because it's super tasty and worth sharing... so here you are...

Gluten Free Meatballs

1 pound ground beef
1 small onion chopped
3 cloves garlic- 2 smashed and 1 chopped
1 rice cereal crumbs
1/2 cup milk
1 large egg
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cans crushed tomatoes (or I used a jar and a half spaghetti sauce)

In large bowl, combine the beef onion, chopped garlic, 1/2 cup rice cereal crumbs, milk egg and salt. Shape into 1 1/2 inch balls.

In large saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon on olive oil over medium heat. Add smashed garlic and cook until golden, about 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes (or sauce) and bring to simmer, stirring occasionally. Submerge meatballs in the sauce, bring to a simmer and cook, covered and stirring occasionally for 25 minutes.


yes you put the raw meatballs in the sauce... and yes it turns out very tasty! Matt, who is my toughest critic, enjoyed them so that has to tell you something! All three boys gobbled them up and Joshua was asking for more. I unfortunately did not take a picture, so you'll just have to trust me on this one!
