Movie night isn’t movie night without amazing snacks. Making Easy S’Mores and Taco Meatballs is a sure way to have movie night be a hit!
Sometimes you just need to celebrate right? Well, thanks to not spending all of my tax refund dollars on a phone upgrade – THANKS Walmart Family Mobile Plus Plan and my new Samsung Galaxy On5 I am CELEBRATING! I love my new phone, I love my phone plan, and I wanted to celebrate with my family! Keep reading I’m going to talk about making Family Movie Night extra fun, using your tax refund money wisely and just giving yourself a reason to celebrate!
I’m in LOVE with my new Samsung Galaxy On5 that I bought at Walmart (to use with Walmart Family Mobile Plus). I was also in love with the price! Regular Price? $119 – which is awesome…want to hear something more awesome? It’s on Rollback for $69.00! I purchased the phone and the required SIM Kit to activate ($19.88) for UNDER $100! Since Family Mobile bills you later, you only have to pay $19.88 when you sign up. You guys you can’t beat that!
Not only is my new phone a completely reasonable price (I didn’t spend all my tax refund in one purchase – I WIN!), but my Walmart Family Mobile Plus plan is amazing and completely in my budget. I get Unlimited* Talk, Text, & Data and a free movie credit on VUDU every month ($7 value) for $49.88 per month, per line. HELLO! That’s amazing right? (*Includes up to 10GB of 4G LTE† data then 2G)

My service is truly great and I’m so happy that I get a VUDU movie that I save every month for Family Movie Night at home with my kiddos (This is why I have a smart tv right?) Since we do Family Movie Night once a month I wanted to make this month special – I’m celebrating not being broke at the end of buying a new phone! How did I make it special? Let’s get to it!
Instead of JUST having some popcorn (don’t worry we had some but that wasn’t it) I decided to whip out some decorations and make this a true party for my boys and me! If your kids (and husband) are like mine, some fun themed decorations and some fun snacks make for a true party. I’m not kidding you guys. I put ice and lemon in a glass of water and call it party water and my boys are in – they love it. So keep it simple – we are celebrating, not going broke!
I put out our “fancy” decorations and put out some of our favorite snacks. Then I made two delish (and easy) recipes and an amazing Family Movie Night was born. You guys know me – it doesn’t have to take days to get ready for a fun party. We did this party with just our family, but easy decorations, easy recipes can be done for any party!
My first EASY recipe is Easy S’Mores. I don’t have a fire pit, so S’mores are always hard to come by – and my kids LOVE THEM! This is a perfect Movie Night Snack – and so fun!
All you need to make Easy S’Mores is:
- Graham Crackers
- Chocolate Bars
- Marshmallow Fluff
Simple spread fluff on 2 pieces of graham crackers and place a piece of chocolate bar on top of one piece. Combine into a sandwich.
Since I had a treat, now it was time for a savory snack! Taco Meatballs are just amazing you guys. It gives you all of that Taco Taste with out the actual taco. I had fun making (and eating) these. (PS this is great for movie night AND things like Taco Tuesdays!)
To make Taco Meatballs you’ll need:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 C bread crumbs
- 1 egg
- 1-2 tsp cumin
- 3/4 C taco sauce (I used mild)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees!
- Hand mix all ingredients and roll into 1 inch balls.
- Spray cookie sheet or baking pan with non-stick cooking spray and place balls in
- Bake uncovered for 15 minutes
- Serve topped with Sour Cream and Tomatoes or your favorite taco toppings
All I need to know is when are you buying your new Samsung Galaxy ON5 and staring your new Walmart Family Mobile Plus Plan??? And what movie are you watching for your first Family Movie Night?
Whhhaaattttt? This is amazing! Taco flavored meatballs? I am in Heaven right now. You have combined the two best foods on planet Earth into one SUPER food!
Wow! You really went all out! The s’mores are super cute as well. These look delicious!
What a great twist on meatballs! I love this idea! Congrats on your new phone and phone service too! What a great way to spend a tax refund!
I like the fact that you use marshmallow fluff for your s’mores. I always want to make a batch, but get so lazy having to torch the marshmallows soft.
Hm, taco flavored meatballs sound very interesting. I can’t wait to try your recipe.
MEatballs are so easy to make and would be awesome for a family movie night. I am a fan of the Walmart Family Mobile plans!
This all looks so delicious! Both the meatballs as well as the smores has me very hungry now!
Up your appetizer game and make these tasty taco-seasoned meatballs that are stuffed with cheddar cheese! I love taco meatballs with cheese! 🙂
Great recipe! Those meatballs look super delicious! Would make a great app for parties!
Tacos are of my fave things to eat! I use beans and lentils instead of meat and they are SO good!
This is quite clever! My kids love meatballs and tacos so this would be a great way to switch up dinner time!
Everything looks delicious. I bet the turkey meatballs turned out great. They sure look like it!
These taco meatballs look and sound delicious! Definitely going to have to save this one to Pinterest–thanks!
This looks amazing. I will have to try the taco meatballs.
Smores are also amazing. Of course, I can’t have them at the moment, trying to eat healthier again and lose weight.
Wow this looks so good I bet my daughter would love to eat these! I will have to try them!
This is such a smart idea! I love this recipe. I definitely have to try making it for dinner or an upcoming party! Yum!
Oh wow these sound absolutely delicious, I am all for trying something new, wonder if they would go with cheese well hmm.
These meatballs look amazing. I think I could even have these if I used turkey rather then beef on my diet. So going to try these out thanks for sharing.
YES you totally could use turkey – I’d use a bit less of breadcrumbs though 😉
Those meatballs looks delicious!!! I love how you added the taco twist! My kids would die for this!
Those meatballs sound like they would be a hit around our house! WalMart seems to be hitting it off with their phone plans!
Such a yummy taco meatballs! I will check this out and make for myself. I’ll make a twist to use mozzarella cheese if it will taste good as well.
Oh my gosh, what a great idea! My husband and son love taco night, and turning it into meatballs would be such a cool and different way to serve it.
OMGoodness, I think that sounds great! I’m going to have to make this soon… And I think I might have to crash your family movie night for some of that good tasting food/snacks : )
Never ate taco meatballs before but now I am drooling. Would love to try them out.
Wow! Happy for you that you already have that phone. Is the photo quality at its best on Samsung Galaxy On5? By the way, those yummies are really great! It makes my stomach to crave for it.
My kids love meatballs. I will have to try these taco ones. I bet there won’t be many left
