This post is sponsored by BabbleBoxx.com. All opinions are mine alone.

Meatball Subs are made with ground beef, egg, Dorot Gardens Garlic, 4C Breadcrumbs, 4C Parmesan Cheese, Big Lou’s Onion Sauce and RAGÚ Simply Roasted Garlic Sauce. Place all these amazing ingredients in a mini sub, broil and serve for the big football game ahead! Add Late July Restaurant Style Tortilla Chips with Late July Thick & Chunky Medium Salsa on the side.

Every so often I receive a big box of unbelievable goodies from Babbleboxx. These boxes always have great foodie finds full of new products and new to me products so I get the opportunity to share this all with you and show you what I was able to create. This particular box came with foods for game day spreads and with the big game upon us shortly, I was feeling really inspired! After all, the best part of a football game is the food.

Late July

The best parties require just a few simple things. Great friends, good stories and delicious snacks! Late July Snacks is committed to delivering the highest quality ingredients in their products without sacrificing on taste. Just the type of snacks your friends want to eat and you want to serve. Great side for meatball subs.

Late July Restaurant Style Tortilla Chips

Late July Restaurant Style Tortilla Chips start with organic whole white corn which is finely ground and authentically cooked. These restaurant style organic chips are cooked thin and crispy with light salt. The perfect pairing for salsa during your big game day spread. So good that you can actually taste what’s real- organic, Non-GMO Project Verified, gluten free, vegan, made with 100% whole grain, and kosher.

Late July Thick & Chunky Medium Salsa

Party chips have met their mate with Late July Thick & Chunky Medium Salsa. This organic salsa is made with real tomatoes and real peppers for a great fresh taste.

Meatball Subs

Meatball Subs start with a phenomenal ground beef meatball that is packed with cheese, just the right amount of onion sauce, garlic and a seasoned breadcrumbs. The tender, perfectly baked meatballs are nestled in a mini sub with more cheese and surrounded with a simply delicious pasta sauce. Top with even more cheese (you can’t have too much cheese) and more flavorful onion sauce. These meatball subs are out of this world!

What you will find in your meatball subs

Dorot Gardens

Season and flavor your food effortlessly with Dorot Gardens Garlic and Dorot Gardens Ginger. Dorot Gardens Garlic and Ginger have been flash frozen within 90 minutes of harvest and come in pre-portioned simple pop out trays for convenience and a two year shelf life. My new favorite kitchen hack to make cooking easier! Just pop a portion out and get cooking.

Garlic

Garlic is my go-to ingredient when creating delicious recipes like these meatball subs. Toss garlic in aioli, soups, pastas, vegetables, stir-fry, on fish… the list goes on and on.

Also find Ginger

Ginger has a pungent aroma with a sharp spicy flavor used in all types of recipes from sweet to savory. Make cakes, Asian cuisine, cookies and so much more! A little ginger in a recipe can completely transform the dish from meh to wow.

Italian Meatballs with Zoodles

Amber — Sat, 08 Jun 2019 16:49:15 +0000

Italian Meatballs with Zoodles is a delicious gluten-free, low-carb dinner made with juicy cheese stuffed meatballs simmered in a simple marinara sauce served over zucchini noodles.

My family has been cutting carbs lately. While we aren’t doing a strict keto diet, we are making carbohydrate replacements often for something healthier. Swapping pasta for zoodles has ended up being one of our favorites ways to do this.

You may also like these Taco Zucchini Boats as another great family dinner night idea for lower carbs and another way to use zucchini.

Italian Meatballs with Zoodles

Italian Meatballs with Zoodles have a crunchy base of zucchini with plump, delicious sausage meatballs over top. The sauce is simple and adds just the right amount of flavor to complete the dish.

Tips & Tricks

Zoodles

Zucchini noodles are commonly known as “zoodles”. Zoodles are a healthy alternative to pasta and a great to get more vegetables in your diet! The trick to making zoodles is a quick cook time. Just a few flips in a hot pan is all it takes to cook zoodles. Don’t add salt because the salt can pull moisture from the zucchini making the zoodles too wet.

I use this Spiralizer. You can buy it from Amazon. It is affordable and easy to use.

Keto

If you are on a keto diet, make sure to read labels for all the tomato products. Tomatoes have carbohydrates so to keep them low for the day, checking labels is important. Also, keep in mind the other carbohydrates you have consumed for the day to stay on track.

Italian Meatballs with Zoodles is a delicious gluten-free, low carb dinner made with juicy cheese stuffed meatballs simmered in a simple marinara sauce served over zucchini noodles.

Ingredients

Italian Meatballs with Zoodles

5 zucchinis
olive oil
basil leaves (chopped)
Parmesan cheese (shredded)

Italian Meatballs

1 pound ground beef
1 pound Italian sausage
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
1 Tablespoon Italian seasoning
1/2 cup mozzarella (shredded)
1/2 cup parmesan (shredded)
1/2 yellow onion
2 garlic cloves (minced)

Sauce

1/2 yellow onion (diced)
4 garlic cloves (minced)
1 Tablespoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 ounces can tomato paste
24 ounces can tomato sauce
14 ounces can diced tomatoes

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Zoodles

Wash zucchinis.
Use your spiralizer according to its instructions to create zoodles from the zucchinis.
As the sauce finishes cooking in a separate pan, cook your zoodles. Place them into a hot pan for 3 minutes. Toss frequently. I like to do this in two batches to cook them evenly.

Italian Meatballs

Place all the meatball ingredients into a large bowl. Use wet hands to thoroughly mix the ingredients.
Form aprox 20 meatballs. I like to use a meatball press for even meatballs.
Drizzle some olive oil into a hot pan on the stove top. Add meatballs. Cook until browned and then flip to brown the other side. I like to do this in two batches and set the meatballs to the side for a moment.

Sauce

Add a tiny amount of olive and the diced onion to the hot pan. Cook for 3 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook until aromatic which is about 30 seconds to 1 minute.
Add the remainder of the sauce ingredients and stir.
Add the meatballs back into pan. Lower temperature, cover pan with a lid and let simmer for 20 minutes.
Stir in some chopped fresh basil. 1 -2 Tablespoons should be good.
Serve over zoodles with a sprinkle of parmesan cheese.

Notes

Also check food labels to ensure foods fit into a specific diet like keto or gluten-free. Most cheeses and tomato based sauces are gluten free but there are exceptions.

Halloween Bash {+ Eyeball Cupcakes Recipe}

Amber — Thu, 27 Sep 2018 13:40:41 +0000

This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #FrighteninglyFunFlavors

It is that time of year again to gather all your best witches and throw a Halloween Bash! I have a full spread today from Hot Dog Mummies to Spiderweb Dip to deliciously spooky desserts like Eyeball Cupcakes made with 7UP®. This years Halloween Bash is a kid-friendly event! I created really simple recipes for you to copy that both kids and adults are going to love and drink choices that will please the entire crowd. Have you ever had a Bloody Shirley Temple? They are bloody good and I am sharing just how to make them. My first stop when throwing a great party is Walmart to grab all the goodies. Walmart has all the Halloween decor, costumes, food and drinks you could possibly need. Print out this grocery list and visit the seasonal department to make the party complete.

Halloween Bash

Decorations

A party isn’t a party without some great decorations! Pick one room in your home to transform into the party spot. Next, pick a theme. I chose a simple white, black and orange theme so everything is cohesive and looks put together. Also, make sure to have playlist of haunting music ready and a table full of snacks and drinks. Get your guests pumped up to wear their best costumes to really set the tone of the party! All the great costumes add to the decor. Think about having a costume contest with a grand prize to inspire everyone to be creative and bring their best! Here is the full list of Halloween decorations to make you the party host of the year:

Table liner
Cupcake liners
Fake spiders
Serving bowls, trays and utensils
Plates
Cups
Straws
Napkins
Toothpicks
Decorations for the wall- bats or fake webs look great.
Just a few extras like a skull, skeleton, crows, or whatever else you stumble upon at Walmart that will bring your room to life.
Halloween party food is more than just something to snack on! You will find great ideas below that are both decorative and delicious.

Halloween Bash Food

Popcorn with Spiders

Bags of popcorn
Fake spiders

Cook a few bags of popcorn according to packaged directions and place in a cauldron. Add a few fake spiders on top and you have an easy snack that everyone loves ready in a snap.

Hot Dog Mummies

20 hot dogs
2 cans crescent roll sheets
40 candy eyeballs
Mustard
Non-stick cooking spray

These Hot Dog Mummies fused all kinds of excitement with the kids. I even received a round of applause from my three year old so I can guarantee these have been child-tested and child-approved. To make Hot Dog Mummies, pre-heat the oven to 375 degrees. Take 2 crescent roll sheets and use a rolling pin to quickly run over the top to get rid of any creases in the dough. Next, use a pizza cutter to make thin strips for the mummy “bandages”. I did 30 per sheet so 60 strips total. Wrap each hot dog with 3 strips leaving a space for the mummy face. Use the non-stick spray on a baking sheet, place the wrapped hot dogs on the baking sheet and bake 15 minutes or until the top is golden brown. Make the mummy faces with the candy eyeballs by squeezing a bit of mustard on the face area to help the eyes stick in place.

Crock-pot A&W Meatballs

7.5 ounce A&W Minican
2 pound bag of frozen meatballs.
18 ounce bottle of your favorite BBQ sauce.

Place the frozen meatballs into a crock-pot with a bottle of BBQ sauce and an A&W Minican poured in. Cook on high 4 hours and serve with toothpicks for convenient snacking.

Bloody Shirley Temples

Canada Dry Minicans
Maraschino Cherries
Grenadine
10 ml party syringes (Monojects)

Bloody Shirley Temples are a spin off from the classic drink. Fill each syringe with 10 ml of grenadine. Add Canada Dry into a glass with a couple cherries and the grenadine filled syringe. Let guests press the plunger of the syringe into the drink to create their own Bloody Shirley Temple. Food that is interactive is always a huge hit!

Jack-O-Lantern Floats

Sunkist Minicans
Vanilla ice cream

A Sunkist Minican and a scoop of vanilla ice cream combine in a cup to create a Jack-O-Lantern Float. You can even draw a pumpkin face on each cup before the party for extra fun.

Spiderweb Dip & Chips

16 ounce can refried beans
1 ounce packet taco seasoning
1/4 cup sour cream
1 cup chunky salsa
1 tomato, diced
3.8 ounce can sliced olives
1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
1 cup guacamole
Party-sized bag tortilla chips

Could a party food be more fun than this Spiderweb Dip and Chips? My vote is no! You can have this dip done in just a few minutes and it tastes amazing. Start by mixing a packet of taco seasoning with a can of refried beans placing it in the bottom of a party bowl or pie pan. Add a layer of chunky salsa, followed by a layer of guacamole. Next, place sour cream into a pastry bag with a small decorating tip. Draw a spiderweb with the sour cream onto the guacamole layer. Finish the dip with spreading shredded lettuce, diced tomato, shredded cheese and sliced olives along the sides. Serve with tortilla chips.

Grab your complete Walmart grocery list HERE to print out.

Don’t forget the decorations, costumes for the family and other spooky fun items to make your Halloween Bash completely epic!

Eyeball Cupcakes Recipe

Eyeball Cupcakes are made with a basic white box cake mix, butter, egg whites and a can of 7UP topped with a really simple 7UP frosting and a bloody gumball eyeball. One of my favorite uses for 7UP is in cake mix! 7UP makes cake so moist and adds just a hint of flavor to a basic white cake. You need to give it a try for sure! I always used 7UP in the frosting and adding some freshly squeezed lemon and lime giving the cupcake a really subtle flavor that works well. Since it is Halloween, we had to dress these cupcakes up with some sprinkles, a red gel for fake blood and a gumball eyeball.

Place cupcake liners into a muffin pan and fill each liner 3/4 full of cake mix.

Add 1 teaspoon lime juice, 1 teaspoon lemon juice. Beat again.
Slowly add in the confectioners sugar and 1/4 cup 7UP® alternating between the two until you have a smooth mixture. You should be able to scoop some frosting on a spoon and turn upside down without it moving- that’s when your frosting is ready. Note that you may not use all of the 7UP® so adding it slowly is key.
Place the frosting into a pastry bag with a large frosting tip. Frost each cupcake.
Shake sprinkles over the top.
Start at the center of each cupcake and make lines coming down using the red decorating gel to mimic blood.
Place a gumball eyeball in the center of each cupcake and serve.

Asian Meatballs

Amber — Tue, 28 Aug 2018 15:07:19 +0000

Asian Meatballs are a fun switch up from a classic meatball with loads of flavor from ginger, herbs and sweet chili sauce. Serve over rice and top with sesame seeds for a delicious dinner the whole family is going to enjoy.

We love making meatballs around here- maybe I love them because it is one of the few things my husband will voluntarily cook for everyone. A day off cooking is nice from time to time but seriously, these meatballs are delicious. These Asian Meatballs have a base of a basic meatball with the breadcrumbs and egg but the flavor really pulls through with the extras like fresh herb and sweet chili sauce actually mixed in.

Asian Meatballs

Tips for fantastic Asian Meatballs:

Let the ground beef sit out for 30 minutes before forming meatballs.
Use gloves to really get in there and mash all the ingredients together.
A meatball press/baller does wonders to rolling the meatballs.
Use fresh ingredients- fresh ginger root, green onion, parsley.
Brown the meatballs before baking.

Some items that make these Asian Meatballs a breeze:
