As those of you who are parents know, weekends can be challenging with kids. You have to balance all of the things that got put off around the house during the week, as well as fulfilling your children’s social calendar.
If you’re lucky, you get the things done that need to be taken care of.
Sometimes though, that can mean not getting to spend as much time with your kids as you would like. This past weekend, I decided that the housework could wait.
Instead, we all jumped in the car and started our little family adventure for the day.
Easy Creamy Garlic and Mushroom Meatballs
Put this easy meatballs recipe together in less than an hour.
We ended up at the Harry Houdini museum. Believe it or not, Harry Houdini lived in our town.
He lived here in Wisconsin as a young child with his family (see the things you learn at a museum?)
The kids and I walked around the museum and learned a few of Harry’s tricks. There were a lot of laughs, and we had so much fun.
The boys’ escape skills are not quite up to those of Harry Houdini.
The rest of the day included lunch at a restaurant of the boys’ choice and then a family movie on the sectional. What a fantastic day.
That was until I had to figure out what to feed the family for dinner.
This cream of mushroom meatballs recipe makes a great meal or party appetizer.
For those of you that have read any of my posts, you know that I am all about ease and will use what we have on hand. This was going to be a challenge.
So I did what I always do, I surveyed our refrigerator, freezer, and pantry. I found a bag of frozen precooked Italian meatballs.
It was a purchase that I made on a recent trip to the supermarket.
When I bought them, I thought that I would be using them for an appetizer. Well, today they would be a part of the main dish.
After finding some other usual suspects in the pantry, Easy Creamy Garlic Meatballs were born. This day reaffirmed not to sweat the small stuff and to enjoy the time that you have with your family.
This day, along with this meal, was like a warm hug to my soul and a memory that I will always have with my boys. -Scott
