Super Easy Lunch and Dinner today

When you are a mom and when you have kids that play sports or have after school activities it sometimes feels like you are just trying to get thru the day and if you can get a meal in your kids belly before bedtime then we survived. My blog is about sharing easy ideas of how to get thru the days with easy tips and meals that still have you looking like a Goddess to your family.
None of these ideas will break the bank, break your back , or make you break a sweat.

Easylunchboxes.com is a site I discovered last year that sells compartment sized containers that remind me of Lunchables only bigger. I bought my boys the lunch boxes and containers last year and they loved having the different compartments for different foods. It made lunch more interesting for them and honestly it helped me to just put different healthy items in each compartment. ( although I have been known to sneak some chips or cookies in their occasionally). This year my kids have different lunch boxes but still use the same Tupperware containers from last year. I love I can put them in the dushwasher, I don't have to buy baggies, and when my kids beg for Lunchables I tell them I can make them their own Lunchables now.  And since the containers stack nicely on top of each other in the fridge, I can make them ahead of time so I am not running around crazy in the morning. This morning my kids were ready to go with a turkey sandwich, sunflower seeds, and fruit. One less thing to worry about today. So now I am off to put my meatballs in the crockpot for dinner.

Honey Garlic Crockpot Meatballs

1/4 c brown sugar
1/3 c honey
1/2 c ketchup
2 T soy sauce
3 cloves, garlic minced
1 28 oz bag of frozen fully cooked meatballs

Mix all ingredients except for meatballs in a bowl. Put meatballs in crockpot and pour sauce over them. Make sure meatballs are all evenly coated. Cook on low four hours. Serve as appetizer or as a meal with something on the side.
