Tony’s Holiday Meatballs. A Tasty and Easy Holiday Crowd Pleaser

Every year during the holidays I do meatballs for gatherings of family, friends and work. There is nothing incredibly gourmet about them but they are easy to prepare and they can feed a crowd.

The ingredients are fairly simple.

  • 1/2 cup Soy Sauce
  • 1 Bottle of Bottled Barbecue Sauce
  • 1 Bag Fully Cooked Italian-style meatballs

In a slow cooker put in meatballs (preferably frozen) and cover them with the soy sauce and barbecue sauce. Put the slow cooker on its highest setting for about an hour and a half, then reduce to low.

These meatballs will have a unique flavor with the soy and barbecue sauces along with the seasonings in the balls themselves.

If you have any questions let me know. Try this out for your holiday gatherings.

Rainy Days and Mondays…

Yep, its rainy and its a Monday a classic combination for a tough day. It is unseasonably warm here in Chattanooga so that makes it less than holiday friendly. Let’s have the best day possible given normal parameters. With this being said I present to you The Carpenters with their iconic hit Rainy Days and Mondays.

Coming To A Theatre Near You, Independence Day 2: Resurgence

This trailer evokes the memory of the original Independence Day movie. Will Smith will not be in this movie but the trailer seems to show that his absence will not be an issue. Several of the original cast members are back for this sequel. It’s going to be a great ride.
