Easy Meatball Subs

Hello sweet friends, Sorry I have been a little MIA but I have been soaking in time with my sweet new nephew! He cannot be anymore precious and my heart is just smitten!  How has your week been so far? I cannot believe how fast it has gone by for me. I blinked and today is Thursday! Instead of linking up for Confessional this week I am going to bring you an easy yummy recipe that is sure to be a crowd pleaser. With my sister just having a baby we have been trying to help with dinners so that she is eating and not having to worry about cooking. This is a great meal to bring to a new mother or family because it's so easy!


 
 
 
Meatball Subs:
 
1 bag of frozen meatballs ( I like to use Simeks turkey meatballs)
1 Jar of pasta sauce
Hoagie Sandwich bread
Mozzarella cheese Slices
Fresh basil
 
 
 
And here is how easy it is...
 
1.Throw your meatballs and pasta sauce in the slow cooker on low and cook them till they are heated through.
 
2.Then turn on your broiler and layer the meatballs on your hoagie and top with a slice of cheese.
 
3.Stick the hoagie into the boiler and let them cheese melt.
 
4.Top with fresh basil and enjoy!
 
 
 
Can this be anymore simply? It's a tasty easy dinner option that is a crowd pleaser. I like to serve it with steamed veggies or a light salad.
 
 
 
What are some of your easy go to recipes? I would love to add them to my list of things to try! leave me a comment below!
 
 
I hope you have the best day!

April Goals

Happy Monday sweet friends! Did you all have a great Easter weekend? I had the best time relaxing and enjoying some time off of work. I also became an aunt to a sweet baby boy! Benjamin Robert was born Easter Sunday at 2:19pm weighing 6lbs and 10oz. He has the sweetest face and a head full of dark brown hair. I am smitten and cannot contain my excitment.


Could he be any more perfect!!
 
 
 
Being the last week of March I want to get all of my goals for April together and share them with you! I love setting goals for the month and checking them off when they are all done. Plus sharing them with you makes me stay more accountable! So lets get started:
 
 
April Goals:
 
1.Over the last few months I have been de cluttering my house and getting rid of things I don't use or need. This month I want to finish this up so I can have it all done before summer.
 
2. Take a walk after work to unwind everyday. When the weather has been nice I have taken a long walk in the evening. This has done so much for me. It helps me to unwind after a long day at work and the fresh air has been amazing!
 
 
3. Save Money. I have some fun things planned for this summer but I need to save my pennies!!!
 
 
4. Continue to meal plan and only eat out once a week.
 
 
 
 
 
What are your goals for April? I would love to hear about them in the comments below!
Have the very best day!

5 Questions and Answers


Hey Sweet friends, and Happy Monday! Did you all have a great weekend? Mine was fantastic, a little busy but just a good weekend! My sweet niece was dedicated to the Lord yesterday, I had a fun girls night, and we celebrated a sweet friend's new baby at her shower. I also went and saw the new Divergent movie Allegiant this weekend. My review... it was okay. The movies have not followed the books at all but it was alright.

 The other day I was reading Anna's and she shared a quick 5 questions and answers post. I thought it would be fun to answer them as well. Check them out below and let me know what your answers would be.




At the top of your wishlist right now: This bag. I have wanted it for so long and I think it might be time for me to purchase it. How cute it the monogram strip and I love the black and brown color. Perfect for an everyday bag




The St. Anne Tote - Fall Monogram Stripe



Blog(s) you’re loving lately: Lindsey  at Not a Mom, Stephanie  at Stephanie Spring, Anna  at Juju and Lucy, and Rachel  at Rachel Emily.


The next trip you’re taking: I want to plan a trip to Asheville, North Carolina.  A cozy cabin in the mountains sounds wonderful to me! I have wanted to visit for a really long time and I think a fall vacation there would be beautiful!
TV show you can’t stop watching:  The People Vs OJ. I am obsessed with it! I also love Fixer Upper, Scandal, and Greys Anatomy.
 
 
What are your answers? Leave them in the comments below!! I hope you have a great day!

Confessional Thursday


Good Morning sweet friends, do you know what today is? It's Confessional Thursday!!!! One of my favorite days of the week. I love that I get to confess and share with you! I also love that I get to link up with other fantastic blogs and read what they are confessing. Today we are linking up with Jessica over at The Newly and I couldn't be more excited!





I Confess:


- Daylight savings is kicking my butt this year. My entire sleep schedule is off. Hopefully I can get it back on track this weekend because I am all kinds of groggy.


-I love the fact that warmer weather is upon us. All I want to do is be outside. I want to nap in the sun, eat out on the deck, and go for long walks. I just want to be outside breathing in the fresh air and soaking up the sun.


-I want nothing more than to clear out my closet and start fresh. I am feeling a little tired of my clothes and thinking I may need to clean out my closet and start saving my pennies for a fun shopping trip.


-Speaking of saving my pennies I really really really would love to plan a vacay. I haven't taken a real vacation in the longest time and I think it's really important to take time to relax. I think I will be looking into a few trips to take this year.


-THE BACHELOR FINALLY, Holy cow anyone else having serious anxiety watching. I was totally Team Lauren and I thought he was going to pick her until that episode and then I was TOTALLY confused. I will say that my heart is so happy he picked Lauren and I am really happy Jojo is the next Bachelorette.


-I cannot wait for my sweet sweet nephew to be born, he could officially come anytime now but my sister's due date is April 2nd.





What are you confessing this week? I would love to hear about it in the comments below!
Have the very best Thursday!!
