Fall stove top potpourri



Ok so I must admit... fall, and winter are my favorite times of year! I love the season changes, leave changing colors, gets cooler out. Sweater weather, leggings and boots! Just the whole feel of fall ♡ and not to mention all the fall smells, food and activities!  


I like my house to smell like fall too and for me it takes me back to when I was a kid and my mom would have this on the stove... I'd always go into the kitchen thinking it was apple pie only to realize it was potpourri on the stove.... ahahaha the disapointment!? 

But as a adult I now know why.... :) 

What I used was a whole apple sliced 
2 cups of water ( it will evaporate throughout the day you will have to add more ) 
Cinnamon sticks and cinnamon powder! 
Cloves 
And never too much vanilla 

Wish I could say I measured this and have a exact recipe for you...   . But I dont. 

Guess and play around I like a lot of vanilla ♡ 




Looks cute.... smells amazing! Go ahead try it out! Can't smell it through this blogg... I wish! 

Happy fall activities.

Follow my links I post daily!

Homemade meatballs and sweet n sour sauce! Easy dinner!!!




Ok so these are honestly amazing! 
One of my most requested meals from my kids and hubby! 

I've put these over rice and egg noodles either way is really good, but I like rice better... 

Ok ok you ready to know how I did this ? 



I made my meatballs homemade! But for sure if you like to use frozen ones you could. Fresh is better... it's not that hard. 


3 eggs
2 chopped onions 
2 lbs hamburger 
1 1/2 cups bread crumbs 
Mix 


Form into balls. 
Whatever size you like 
I use little muffin tins but use whatever! 
I like to make extra they freeze great. 


Ready for the sauce? ? 
2 ingredients that's it! 
No really and it's amazing!! 
Chili sauce and grape jelly 
That's it! 
Sooooo good 

Throw both of them in the slow cooker 


Mix them together! 

My meatballs cooked on 400 degrees for 18 minutes 


Once sauce is mixed 


Throw your meatballs in and mix around. 
These can keep in slow cooker all day if you like! This is enough sauce for 2 pounds of meatballs! 

Sauce will thicken 

Put over rice omg yummm!

Make extras you will want left overs ! 




Rather watch me do it?
I also do youtube videos come check them out! tons of recipies and random videos!
