Dollar Tree Advent Wreath!
Dollar Tree Advent Wreath!
Easy peasy - that's how I like my crafts, lol! I've been wanting to buy an Advent wreath for so long. Now that we are social isolating, we definitely needed one ASAP. You can find some nice Advent wreaths for under $20, but I wanted this to be a special craft made with my daughter. Ours is pretty festive, but forego the embellishments for something simple and classic!
See our YouTube video here (only 3 minutes long):
As of 2020, my Dollar Tree did not sell purple or pink taper candles, so I bought mine on Amazon for around $8 (link active as of 2020): https://amzn.to/35Y42SC
But, you can totally use the Dollar Tree's white taper candles too! Just tie a purple of pink ribbon around the candle holder to signify which week of Advent you are in.
Oh, and if you'd like some sort of prayer or devotion next to your wreath, here is the one I chose:

Aldi Haul Nov 22, 2020
I know it's been forever! I think the last time I published a video to my channel (that wasn't singing) was almost a year ago! Crazy.
The Aldi near me just opened up again (they were closed for major renovations), and wow it was worth the wait! It's beautiful, bright, and BIG! Also, they have curbside pickup - I'm going to have to look into this further to see how it works (the cost, etc.).
In the meantime, here's today's haul with this week's dinner plans. Nothing super exciting, but I'm happy to record a video today (7 MINUTES YIKES! I'm rusty!!! lol).
Miss you all!
love + light,
Clara

Clara's Cooking | Hawaiian Meatballs
In addition to meatballs, this sauce is a great compliment to any baked chicken or fish.
If you follow my blog, this is my basic meatball recipe that I use for all meatballs. It's great for all types of dishes, whether sweet, savory, or spicy. It can be used in multiple cuisines (Swedish, Italian, Thai, etc.). Although I have published the recipe before, I included it below for the sake of completion. Enjoy!
I like to prepare the meatballs first, so that while they are baking in the oven, I can prepare the sauce.
Clara's Meatballs Recipe Ingredients:
1lb ground lean beef
1lb ground lean turkey
3/4 cup onions, finely diced
2 large eggs
3 tsp Coconut Aminos (optional, can also use soy sauce or Worcestershire sauce)
1/2 to 1 TBSP garlic powder (based on preference)
Olive oil
Salt & black pepper
Optional: 3/4 to 1 cup chopped vegetables such as carrots or sweet potato to bulk up your meatballs.
Clara's Meatballs Recipe Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400F.
2. Heat olive oil on medium heat in pan, and cook onions until silvery. Cook additional (optional) vegetables such as carrots.
3. Set pan aside to cool.
4. Add beef, turkey, eggs, Coconut Aminos, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to bowl (and other seasonings your wish). Mix well. Add veggie/onion mixture. Mix again.
5. Form meatballs that are of a diameter of 1.5 to 1.75 inches, forming somewhere between 25-28 meatballs (I just use my hands, but you can use a large ice cream scoop or spoon if you wish). Place on ungreased cookie sheet.
7. Bake meatballs for 20-23 minutes.
Clara's Hawaiian Sauce Recipe Ingredients:
1 can (12-15oz) mango slices (don't have to drain)
1 cup pineapple chunks (don't have to drain)
1/2 cup finely diced onion
1 tsp red curry paste
1 tsp ginger powder (more or less to taste)
1/4 cup lime juice (more or less to taste)
3/4 to 1 cup chopped cilantro (save a bit for garnish)
1/2 TBSP crushed red pepper (more or less to taste)
Olive oil
Salt & pepper
Clara's Hawaiian Sauce Recipe Directions:
1. Place mango and pineapple in food processor and blend well.
2. Cook onions in olive oil until silvery.
3. Add mango and pineapple mixture to pan. Add curry paste and stir.
4. Add ginger, lime, salt, pepper, and cilantro.
5. Stir mixture and taste. If you prefer more heat, add crushed red pepper to taste.
6. Simmer on low to medium low for 20 minutes, depending on how thick you wish the sauce to be.
7. When meatballs are finished baking, top with sauce and cilantro garnish. Enjoy with a side of rice and broccoli if you wish!
love + light,
Clara
