It's not easy bein' green.

Putting together a Muppet themed first birthday party for my little helper was not easy.

BUT I DID IT!

You could make your own Swedish meatballs. You could go to IKEA and buy some of theirs. Or you could do what I did and find some at BJ's. (Costco or Sam's Club might have them, too. I have no idea.)

"Easy Swedish Meatballs" (6 quart pot)

~bag of frozen Swedish meatballs from Bj's
~2 c water

Dump bag of meatballs into crock pot.
Add water to pot.
Cover and cook on high for 4 hours.

12 servings.

Bork bork bork!

In all of the excitement of my little helper's birthday party and impending hurricane Irene, I forgot to take pictures of the meatballs. Close your eyes and imagine a small ball of cooked ground meat. Voila.

These were a huge hit. Surprisingly awesome. Even the birthday boy couldn't get enough of them!

Here's a picture of one of the birthday cakes instead. (Thanks, Jung!)
