Cake Pops!


I love cake pops! So I decided to try it out for Lori's B-day. It is a great little treat, especially for kids.

I found several recipes on line. So you can look up one if you want to.

Ingredients:
cake mix (any kind you want... I used chocolate fudge)
frosting (any kind.... I used cream cheese vanilla something)
chocolate almond bark
lolly pop sticks
styrofoam

Bake cake and let it cool
crumble cake in a big bowl and add 3/4 frosting container
mix it with hands until it is like playdough
roll into balls and put in fridge for at least an hour
melt the chocolate and dip the tip of the stick in the chocolate and then into the cake ball... let sit for a few minutes
dip the cake pop into the chocolate and decorate with sprinkles if desired, tap it to get extra chocolate off.

Meatball Sandwich

This isn't a picture I took because I didn't think to take one, but I thought I would put it on here to remember. Can you tell I am into sandwiches lately? There's nothing special about this sandwich it is just good, easy, and cheap. I just bought a bag of frozen meatballs at Walmart, some buns, marinara sauce and mozzarella cheese. I was lazy and used the microwave but the oven would be even better I bet. We still have a ton of meatballs left for whatever we want (probably more meatball sandwiches or spaghetti and meatballs). Anyway, just something to consider.

French Dip

Sorry I don't have a picture for each stage, but I did get the final product.

Ingredients:
3 lb roast
2 cans beef broth
2 packets onion soup mix
hoagie buns
provolone or mozzarella cheese

Put roast, beef broth, and onion soup mix in crock pot for 8 hours. Shred. Put on bun with cheese and put in the oven for a couple of minutes to toast the bun and melt cheese. Use the remaining juice for dipping.
