Easy Tomato & Mozzarella Meatballs

The Holidays are here and that means it’s time to make plans for all of those great parties and get-togethers.  I love having family and friends over this time of year, but I’ve learned that planning is key.  You must be organized and prepared so that you can enjoy the most wonderful time of year as well.  I love being in the kitchen, but when my home is filled with family and friends, I like to catch up with everyone and enjoy myself too.  Along with traditional homemade dishes and desserts, my menu always has at least a few simple, tasty semi-homemade recipes that everyone loves to snack on like these Easy Tomato & Mozzarella Meatballs!

One of the first things guests like to do when they arrive is to get a drink and a few appetizers.  Farm Rich makes Holiday (or any time of year) entertaining a breeze!  Farm Rich makes delicious frozen snacks and appetizers for real families.  Their products are made with great ingredients, quick-frozen and carefully packaged so busy families can prepare great-tasting food within minutes.

During the Holidays, I always grab a few bags of Farm Rich’s Gluten Free Meatballs for this tasty appetizer.  Having Farm Rich Snacks on hand can be a life saver!

For this easy appetizer, all you have to do is bake the meatballs (trust me, bake them so they get that nice crust on the outside) like usual, and when they come out of the oven, add a piece of a sliced mozzarella cheese stick & a fresh, juicy tomato on top and place your appetizer on a pretty platter.  Now you’ve got yourself a festive snack that will look great on your table!  These meatballs are so good and my family went crazy over this snack.  My kiddos actually ate the whole plate for lunch! Yum!

I want to tell you that it’s okay to take shortcuts once in a while.  It took me a while to realize this, but trying to do everything, all of the time can make you (and the people around you) miserable.  Don’t let this time of year get you stressed.  Come up with your own creative snacks and appetizers with Farm Rich this season to lighten the time you spend in the kitchen and enjoy your wonderful family!  I’m guessing that your family will love whatever you come up with.  After all, they love you!

Use Farm Rich Meatballs, Toasted Ravioli, Mozzarella Sticks, Jalapeño Peppers, Breaded Mushroom or use the Farm Rich Product Finder to find and create something yummy for the Holidays, Family Movie Nights, or Just Because.  The possibilities are endless!  Guess what?  You can now get $1.50 off 2 Farm Rich snacks!
