Originally posted August 26, 2009 – Have I mentioned that I’ve been grilling a lot lately? 🙂 These Sweet and Sour Meatball Skewers are so super simple and a great recipe to turn to when you don’t know what to have for dinner and you don’t want a lot of effort. Frozen meatballs and sweet peppers are threaded onto skewers and then basted with a simple 2-ingredient sweet and sour sauce. I love to keep Ikea frozen meatballs on hand just for recipes like this one!

Can I tell you how happy I am to not have kids old enough to be in school right now?? It seems like this is the busiest time of the year for parents of back-to-schoolers. Or maybe it’s just getting back into the groove of things that makes it all seem so busy and hectic.
I have to admit – that made me grateful for my simple – only – 1 – child – life. But even with my one child – who has many years until she starts school, some days seem so crazy busy that I don’t even have time to think of what’s for dinner. What to do on those nights? Turn to a recipe like these meatball skewers! So incredibly easy and fast. And perfect for the end of summer nights. And did I mention they are quite tasty as well??
