Tortellini Meatball Soup with Mini Baguettes

December 6, 2011 by Tiffany

This meal is so fast to get on the table. The soup cooks up very quickly and Sister Schubert’s Mini Baguettes are not only the prefect accompaniment, they are also quick to the table.

Do you like dipping bread in your soup? I do and these were perfect for doing that. The outside of the baguette is crunchy, making them great for dipping. The inside is soft and warm, which gives them a homemade taste. I also really appreciate that they are individual servings, versus a whole loaf that needs to be cut. When you need to get dinner to the table fast, every little time-saving step helps!

The other thing I love about this whole meal is that it requires no advanced planning. It’s basically a pantry/freezer meal. All the ingredients can be kept on hand and pulled out when you need them. The Mini Baguettes warm in the oven while the soup comes together. I love meals like this!

Meatballs and Spanish Rice

February 11, 2011 by Tiffany

I found this recipe in Whole Foods for the Whole Family cookbook. I’ve done a little altering to it though. First, it calls for brown rice, which I swear I bought, but is nowhere to be found in my pantry. So I subbed white rice.

The method for making this involves baking the raw meatballs on top of the rice. Because of this, you’re going to need to use very lean meat or else the dish will be too greasy. I’ve made it before with ground bison. This time I used some of the 88 meatballs I made and froze. I froze some of them raw, specifically to use in this dish. A quick thaw in the microwave was all they needed. It sped up the prep work a lot to start with the meatballs already made.

Cheesy Rice and Meatball Skillet Dish

February 10, 2011 by Tiffany

Remember all the 88 meatballs I made and froze? Some of them were destined for this dish.

This is based on a recipe in an old church cookbook. I made it according to the recipe the first time (unusual for me to follow a recipe exactly!), which means I used the Velveeta it called for. Much as we like Velveeta, it was too gooey and sticky for us.

A week later, I gave the recipe a make-over. I swapped out the Velveeta for Italian blend cheese and added garlic and Italian seasonings. It’s still a quick stove-top meal, but with much better flavor.

Sweet and Sour Meatballs over Rice

April 2, 2010 by Tiffany

A recipe I cut out of a magazine a long time ago, inspired me to create this. The magazine version used barbecue sauce, but I thought it would taste better with a homemade sweet and sour sauce instead. The dish is still very easy to make and the kids loved it. I intended to use a green pepper, but I didn’t have any. I substituted carrots. They were very good and it’s one of the veggies my kids like to eat. [Read more...]

Easy Meatball Subs

March 3, 2010 by Tiffany

I’m not sure why I never thought of doing this before. It was so quick and simple. My boys were very happy and the rest of us liked the subs too. I used frozen meatballs and a jar of spaghetti sauce, so it just can’t get any easier. Perfect for a busy night. [Read more...]
