Pork & Chorizo Meatballs

November 5, 2014 by Jaida 2 Comments

It’s hump daaaaaay!!! I love knowing that we are just 2 days away from it being the weekend again. I love weekends. But, who doesn’t?? I don’t even have specific plans for this weekend, but I’m excited anyway! J will go hunting at some point, and hopefully come home with a tasty deer to stock our freezer with! And I have a baking venture planned, most likely while he is gone hunting. Let’s just say it’ll be something pumpkin-y. You know, because I can’t go through the fall season without jumping on the bandwagon at least a leetle bit. For now, however, I bring to you some mighty tasty little balls of pork and chorizo. J and I looooove chorizo. Not the healthiest thing in the world, and we don’t eat it often, but we thoroughly enjoy it when we do!

Sausage & Chorizo Meatballs
I love various types of meatballs, as you can find in my recipe index, in part because they are bite-size and delicious, but also because they are so easy to prepare!! Mix all the ingredients in a big bowl, form them into balls, then cook! And when they are oven-baked, it’s even easier! No watching them to flip them in the skillet. Just toss them on a baking sheet, throw them in the oven, and 25 minutes later…dinner!
Did I mention that these also have my most very favorite cheese in them? That’s right…smoooooked Gouda. YumyumyumyumyumyumYUM!
Just as a little foodie tidbit for any new friends reading…a few things that I love: all things lemon, anything with balsamic vinegar, and Gouda. All.the.things. Gimmegimmegimme!

Welcome!

As a busy wife and mom who also works a full time job, I try to have dinner done in 30 minutes or less so I can spend more of my evenings with my hubby and baby girl, so what you will find here are recipes that are mostly-healthy, quick and easy. Of course I have desserts, less healthy and more time-intensive meals as well (everything in moderation!), but all-in-all, you can count on weeknight friendly options, all made with love and dished up with a side of life, love, and family!
