I hope you all had a fabulous Christmas! We had a nice time at home, just the two of us. The hubbs was working so I made our turkey dinner on Boxing Day – you have to fit your lifestyle around the shift workers!  We were lucky though to have turkey dinner twice, thanks to our neighbours.  Being an RCMP wife means spending a lot of time with other members and their families because they become your family! 

We’ve been out west now for over 7 years while our entire families are back east.  It’s really hard this time of year being away from family; one of these days we’re hoping to get a little closer to them but until then you have to make the most of your time off together and carry on with your own traditions 🙂  We have had some nice days off relaxing, watching Christmas movies, playing board games and hanging out with friends.

2017 is just a few days away…crazy, isn’t it?!   One of our favourite things to do on New Year’s Eve is have a bunch of appies, open up some champagne, listen to music and wait tor the countdown!  Long gone are the days of spending way too much money on a night out on the town. We’d much rather stay in and make our own little party or head out to a house party.  If you’re doing the same thing then these Buffalo Turkey Meatballs will be sure to be a hit!

They take no time to roll up, bake in the oven and you’re out the door (or in the door in your comfy clothes like me!)  They are low-carb, gluten-free and the perfect size to snack on all night.  I love the tanginess of the blue cheese dipping sauce, it has just the right amount of kick to it and pairs perfectly with the meatballs.

So let’s get rolling…
