I hope that everyone had a wonderful Christmas! I sure did!
This most darling birdie teacup came from Mary at Home Is Where The Boat Is. Isn't it so pretty and perfect for my wintertime tea? Thank you so much, Mary!
My daughter made me this beautiful angel from folded book pages. Isn't she stunning?
I made these meatballs for my family Christmas party and everyone loved them. They'd be great for New Year's, too.

Cranberry Meatballs
These meatballs are so good for the holidays!
Ingredients
- 1.5- 2 lbs. frozen fully cooked mini meatballs
- 1 can whole berry cranberry sauce
- 1 cup orange juice
- 1/3 cup honey
- ½ cup chili sauce
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Combine everything except meatballs in a dutch oven or a similar pot on the stovetop. Stirring constantly, bring just to a boil over medium-high heat. See NOTE
- Reduce heat to medium-low. Carefully add meatballs and stir to coat. Continue cooking until meatballs are heated through and the sauce is thickened (15-20 minutes).
- Serve on their own as an appetizer or over rice as a meal.
Notes
I actually put everything in my slow cooker and cooked on low all day.
Thank you for your visit and Happy 2024! xo
