Slow Cooker BBQ Meatball Recipe

Hey friends,

How is it Thursday already?! I guess with working a full day on Tuesday it feels like this week has flown by which is great because I’m always ready for the weekend though.

We have a full weekend ahead. I’m working on Saturday morning at the Magic and have my BFF’s baby shower too. Next weekend we are dedicating Parker at our church and I’m throwing a baby shower so we are prepping for those celebrations as well.

My mom is over today helping out with Parker and I’m cranking out some work and have a few nutrition clients to meet with at the office this afternoon.

I’m so thankful for my mom’s help!

I also love to meal prep this recipe for a quick weeknight dinner or grab and go lunches! These bbq meatballs made in the crockpot are delicious paired with rice or over top of a salad.
