Happy Friday! It feels like this week flew by with one less work day than usual. The weather finally cooled off, and it's going to feel like serious football season around here with a high in the 60s all weekend. I'm not a huge sports fan these days, but in college I never missed a University of Iowa football game. This weekend happens to be the rivalry game for my alma mater vs. my husband's - Iowa vs. Iowa State.

At least we can agree on one thing during the game on Saturday - healthier party snacks!
I made this meatball recipe for dinner a few weeks ago to test it, and it passed with flying colors. It's super easy, with only three ingredients - lean ground turkey, your favorite barbecue sauce, and bread crumbs. I used Gillian's Plain {Original} Bread Crumbs, which are gluten free and made with rice flour, but any bread crumb will work.
If you can get it, try Sweet Baby Ray's barbecue sauce in this recipe. Their Sweet & Spicy sauce is my absolute favorite. I think these meatballs will provide plenty of sustenance for football cheers.
GO HAWKS!
