My Recipe - using Frenchs mustard

Okay, so here is a secret family recipe that my mom used to make. I do not have exact measurements, it's sort of a "throw it together and see what you get" kind of recipe.

You will need
1 package italian meatballs (I like the turkey ones that you can find in the freezer section)
Grape jelly
BBQ sauce (whatever your favorite is)
French's mustard (spicy or original!)
white or brown rice

What you do
Put the meatballs in a 8x8 or 9x13 baking pan (I use glass) and cover with bbq sauce. Spoon grape jelly over bbq sauce (I usually put a generous amount of both - Ira likes his sauce!). Then put a small amount of French's mustard. Stir together and bake at 350 for aprx 20-25 mins (just keep an eye on them. They are done when the sauce is thinned and meatballs are cooked. Some brands take longer to cook than others, just read what the package says).

While your meatballs are cooking, cook some white or brown rice.

When finished, serve meatballs over rice!

Super easy and quick and delicious!

Graves - the "clown"

This is what I woke up to this morning. I didn't hear the kids get up and they decided to amuse themselves in the bathroom before waking me up! Nice.

This is Graves - mad because I wouldn't let him "paint" again after his bath!!
