I really don’t like to cook (this obviously does not apply to baking, which I love). I enjoy trying new dinner recipes from time to time, but overall I don’t like the day-to-day chore of cooking. And meal planning, oh my goodness, a huge weakness of mine. I’m trying improve in this area! I’m hoping to begin posting a few quick and easy recipes so that I’ll be able to refer back to them from time to time. A record of meals to assist in my meal planning!
I have two criteria for our family meals. They have to be easy to prepare. Like many moms I don’t have lots of time to be standing over the stove at 5:00 preparing dinner. 5:00 is crabby time around these parts (not that my little angels are ever crabby). Meals also have to be allergy friendly, or at least adaptable, for my boys’. Which means avoiding eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, wheat, and dairy. Yes, that means no cheese (sigh). Fortunately, there are still lots of yummy things they can eat. One of which would be these Cranberry Barbecue Meatballs. Seasonally appropriate don’t ya think?
Cranberry Barbecue Meatballs
- 2 lbs. hamburger
- 1 1/2 cups quick oats
- 2 eggs (or egg replacer)
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/2 tsp. pepper
- 2 tsp. onion salt
