Does anyone have a good recipe for meatballs? I think I might make them for lunch tomorrow

Cravings can be weird. Mine, in order, from first preg to last preg: ginger ale with crushed cranberries; ice; tacos; pineapple with hot sauce. Here is a meatball recipe that gets trotted out at our family for any major gathering. Don't let the ingrediants throw you off - they are great.
Meatball:
1 lb ground beef
1 egg
1/2 of bread crumbs/cracker crumbs
Dash of salt and pepper
Sauce:
1 cup of grape jelly
1/2 bottle of BBQ sauce or chilli sauce
Dash of cayenne if wanted for heat
Mix the sauce ingredients together (you may want to tinker with the ratio of jelly to BBQ to suit your tastes) and put in a crock pot. Mix the meat ingredients together, make your balls, and put those in the sauce making sure all are covered. Cook on low heat for 6 hours. And now I want meatballs.

When is the baby due?

Whoa! Mine is due June 26th! I understand the craving for cheese....I'm eating like 5 grilled cheese sandwiches a day made from Velveeta xD As far as meatballs go, I wish I had some, but I crave Sausage more (I guess that's pretty similar) and today my biggest want was some roasted vegetables and ice cream with kit kats xD Gotta love those cravings! <3

Ah, you guys are reminding me of the good times when mum would tell me when she was pregnant with me and my siblings. She ended up getting very sick with me and had to be in the hospital quite often, and I was also induced a week early because of that. Most likely because I only let her eat boiled potatoes with a small sprinkle of salt on them and a very specific brand of pulpy orange juice. The worst bit is she went to a wedding while these cravings were in effect. I hope when I get pregnant that it's not as bad as that.

@obsidian I don't know how bad it was for my mum to be present with me but I do know that the doctors wanted to induce her but she wouldn't let them. Kept saying when I was ready labour would happen. She was present for almost 4 extra weeks XD says that my stubbornness started at a very early age

@timber ever since I was young I've ate raw veggies. Mum kept a large garden and always planted extra because my sister and I were always out there eating everything. Ooooh the good old days haha. Lemonade! I've been craving that too. Super tart Lemonade though. I've been buying this brand of "avenger" Popsicles because they have a nice lemon flavored one

Oh Lemonade! Any chance I get, I make some. It's the best! Just tart enough to take any potential nausea away while getting the Vitamin C at the same time :) Today, I woke up and Made Cinnamon Rolls. I wanted them so bad. :P It Really is cool isn't it best friend? I had to jump into the conversation the second I saw that!

Cinnamon rolls! We're getting grocers today and that's on my list now.

@ friend must be something in the water XD
