Waikiki Meatballs

1 & 1/2 lbs hamburger
2/3 cup oatmeal
1/3 cup minced onion
1 egg
1 1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ginger
1 can pineapple tidbits (separate syrup/juice)
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 tbsp corn starch
1/3 cup vinegar
1 tbsp soy sauce

Mix the first 6 ingredients together and form into balls. Bake in the oven on cookie sheet for approximately 20 minutes at 350 degrees. Mix syrup from pineapple tidbits, brown sugar, cornstarch, vinegar and soy sauce; cook over medium heat until thick, stirring constantly.  Add meatballs and pineapple pieces, heating together on low heat. Serve with rice.

I have yet to try this but I don't see why this couldn't be a make-ahead meal.  Cook the meatballs & cool, placing in a large ziploc bag. Make the sauce & cool and place in a medium ziploc bag.  Place sauce bag in larger bag and freeze. Thaw completely and re-heat.

This recipe is not mine but was given to me by one of my pastors, Pastor Teresa. It was SO yummy I actually ate two helpings!!! Yikes!

Peanut Graham Bark

A co-worker of mine made this for our Christmas Bake Exchange.  It was very good.  The little I got to taste of it that is.  BigDaddy LOVED it however. {grin}

1 pound white dipping chocolate
4 cups Golden Graham Cereal
1 cup peanuts

Melt chocolate over med-low heat. Add cereal and nuts.  Spread on wax paper lined cookie sheet. Once hardened, break up into pieces.
