sweet-sour-meatballs-2As you guys might have read in my other posts we are living in between states right now. Since our house is not ready, I am stuck with a less than ideal kitchen at the moment. I only have a small 2 burner cooktop and a convection microwave. Rather than spend a bunch of money eating out every night I am making this tiny kitchen work!

I can still whip up some fantastic meals including the the one I am sharing with you guys today – Sweet & Sour Meatballs.

This recipe is very easy to put together and is packed with flavor. I can whip up a batch of homemade meatballs in about 5 minute or so…but you guys can also use the Armour Meatballs that are BOGO this week at Publix and skip one step. Since this recipe calls for very few ingredients this is a very budget friendly option.

Give it a try and let me know what you think!
