Blueberry Muffins

I really want to make these the next weekend we’re home for breakfast, so I’m posting this to remind myself! I also got these from Stephanie Cooks blog.
Ingredients:
1 (15 ounce) can blueberries, in liquid rinsed and drained or 1 cup fresh blueberries
1 (18 ounce) package white cake mix
1 (3 1/2 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding (4-serving size)
4 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup vegetable oil
3/4 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla

Directions:
1- Rinse blueberries lightly and drain well.
2- In mixing bowl, beat eggs until light. Add the cake mix, pudding, vegetable oil, vanilla, and milk.
3- Beat until smooth, but do not over beat (about 2 1/2 minutes). Batter will be thick.
4- Carefully fold in blueberries with spoon. Try not to break the berries–fill muffin cups 3/4 full and place into preheated 350F degree oven for 20-30 minutes, depending on muffin cup size.

Crockpot Meatballs

So I don’t eat red meat (aka pigs & cows) so I can’t attest to this recipe myself, but I thought I’d post it since meatballs are a kinda standard potluck/party recipe. I got this recipe from my mom last year for our new year’s eve party. Jason needed a side/appetizer to bring to his work potluck last week and he requested meatballs. So I bought frozen meatballs at the store and defrosted them overnight in the frig. To make my morning easier (I’m less than a morning person) I combined the sauce ingredients at night and let them chill in the frig too. I tripled the recipe to go with approx 100 meatballs.
Meatball Sauce
Ingredients
12 oz jar of Heinz chili sauce
3 oz grape jelly
2 Tbsp lemon juice
Directions
Combine, add meatballs, cook on low in crockpot for 6-8 hours or high for approx 4 hours. Enjoy! Jason brought home an empty crockpot so I guess his coworkers enjoyed them!
