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! 

Cheeseburger soup in crockpot

Ok so I am not one for Velveeta cheese... however my husband went grocery shopping few weeks back and of course he grabbed this. ( you can make this with any cheese) 

Ok cheeseburger soup 

What I used 

1 package of shredded hash browns ( you can used cubed or fresh )

1 big box of Velveeta 

1 32 Oz chicken broth 

2 lbs hamburger 

1 large onion chopped fine 

And bacon makes everything better ;) 

Dill pickle chips are good with this to! 

I chopped onion and fried it up with the hamburger 

While my hamburger was cooking I chopped up my Velveeta cheese in cubes, so it would melt faster 

Added the cheese and chicken broth into my crock 

Add the onion and hamburger and 1 bag of frozen  hash browns 

And while that is on low for 2/3 hours or high for 1/2 

I fried up some bacon and threw some into the soup and crumbled up the rest for a topping when it comes out 

Finished product ♡♡ this is amazing must try. 

Kids and husband loved it!

And even have some left overs for later! 

Great soup for a cold winter day. 

Baked donut holes

Ok so I normally try not to buy anything boxed like this. ( I eat a ton of junk food but would rather make it homemade. 

Either way I found these and had to try them out!

Kids and I made these ( super easy! )
All you need is 2 tbs butter, some water and 2 tbs of milk!
And so good!

Would recommend

Homemade ham bbq in crock pot

lb sliced ham 
6 tablespoons sweet relish
6tablespoons water
6 tablespoons ket
3.5 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons must
1 tablespoon white vingar

cook on low for 45 min to a hour or can have on low in crockpot for a hour and a half and just turn to warm until serve 
eat on buns 

These are a big hit in my house !

I put everything in my crock pot, turned on low and left it simmer for about a hour 

After a hour mine looked like this stir it up 

And serve on buns, kids of course wanted mac and cheese to go with them. 

Grape salad

What's everyone have for memorial day picnics? I have been cooking all day to get ready for ours! But this one is grape salad. Super easy and idk how healthy this is if you watch your diet but I did change cream cheese to Greek yogurt.  But here is what you need....

1 1/2 lbs of green seedless grapes ( i only used red )

1 1/2 lb red seedless grapes

8 oz sour cream

8 oz cream cheese

1/2 cup sugar

1tsp vanilla

toppinng brown sugar and pecans ( i didnt use pecans )

remove stems from grapes and rinse them
beat sour cream and chream cheese
add sugar and vanilla and mix well
mix in grapes and put in serving dish
add toppings ( brown sugar 

here is everything I used for mine .. 

throw your grapes in and mix them all around 

I just put some brown sugar on ours. the kids really dont care too much for nuts in things and that is fine cause we dont either but pecans are really good ontop too ! and dresses it up a bit. either way amazing ! easy picnic dish!
