Crockpot Italian Turkey Meatballs.

Happy Sunday... Next week at this time I will be sitting in church listening to Stenny give a sermon with my sis and brother in law next to me-- sounds like perfection! I have a lot of fun things planned for this week and then BAM come Friday at 6pm Jessica and Mike will be turning onto Christiana Ave and buzzing up. Can't wait to see her baby bump!!!! Aye aye! Can it be Friday already?!

I am on the hunt for some good crockpot recipes and I struck gold with this. Healthy, extremely fast and so tasty this will be a staple for sure.

I made this yesterday and our home smelled like a warm Italian kitchen.

Do you see that steam... pipping hot!

super easy.

Recipe adapted slightly from Skinnytaste ... Love this blog.

Meatballs:

20 oz (1.3 lb) ground turkey breast

1/4 cup panko bread crumbs

1/4 cup grated Parmesan

1/4 cup parsley, finely chopped

1 egg

1 large clove garlic, minced

1 tsp Italian seasoning

1 T fresh basil

1 tsp salt and pepper

Sauce:

1 tsp Olive oil

4 garlic cloves (crushed)

28 oz. crushed tomatoes

salt and pepper to taste

Basil

Directions:

Combine meatball ingredients with your hands. Form into meatballs. I was able to make 29.

In a small saute pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic and saute until golden, being careful not to burn.

Pour crushed tomatoes into crockpot, add garlic and oil.

Drop meatballs into the sauce, cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours. One the meatballs are ready salt and pepper them up and add some basil.

Serve pipping hot with some crusty Italian bread and red wine.

Hope everyone had a great week. I was at work all weekend and still managed to have myself a wonderful time!

xo.

goodbye summer 2026

I headed back to BHP today after what may have been the best summer ever. If you would have asked me a week ago if I was ready to go back I would have said no, but I think God does a good job of preparing our hearts for big changes if we allow him to, and I truly felt prepared walking into school today. My classroom has a ways to go to be ready to welcome in students to meet the teacher night on Wednesday-- but I know I'll get there. Routine is good, and I packed my lunch last night, laid out my clothes and after work today headed to the grocery before grilling up some chicken for dinner. I needed something to remind me that I love feeding my family well, being somewhat organized and nights at home after a day away. Here are some summer lasts: Mornings on the front porch with coffee + 1 kid + a game?!?!? THE BEST Also a LOT of Rummikub lately a Friday morning of cinnamon chip scones might be the best way to start the day family bike ride on the Brown's Creek Trail 12 miles w...

Wolfpack.

We had a good day with these lifetime friends of mine. PHS class of ‘04. Linds is so good at getting everyone together. She planned this whole day and then everyone took the day off work/ got kids out of activities and sports and made the effort to see one another. Friendship of 35 years is a true gift. I feel like these girls watched me grow up. From playing boxcar children in the basement to jr high shenanigans/ all the trips to Treasure Island to studying abroad together in Italy to visiting each others first homes/ attending weddings /welcoming in motherhood and most recently keeping up on Marco Polo I am thankful for these gals. Recreating a picture from 7 yrs ago 😂 As we were saying our goodbyes we looked down and BURST into laughter. Must be a 40 yr old thing. Memories upon memories with this crew. xo. edc.

Dan and Pam +

One of our favorite weeks of summer came and went: When Dan and Pam visit. This means lots of family time at Big C. Everything is a game and there are lots of laughs-- never ending fun. It always goes by so fast and it’s sad to see them go. This year we did something super different and took a 24 hour trip to show off Duluth to Pam. J is the best trip planner and when she sent me the itinerary I knew it was going to be a good time. Here we are in our little hostel room. I slept like a rock thanks to half a sleeping pill. Seriously. I slept over 9 hours and didn’t even wake up to go to the bathroom! Found just a couple rocks to skip 😂 Here we are at split rock lighthouse. We were too cheap to go into the actual park and get the tour so we listened to a podcast on the way home instead haha The fog hadn't burned off yet and it made for the most beautiful backdrop. Perhaps the highlight for me: burrata and wine on the rocks of gooseberry falls. We ...
