Geordie has once again been hounding us for lunchables, even though he does not like them! We have found it's because of the candy! You get a piece of candy in each lunchable. Therefore, he wants it!! We have had other experiences with Geordie and his pallet, see here, and here.
So, I've had to bring my 'A' game up!! Be a little more creative!! Actually I just checked out the lunchable aisle and got some ideas. So without further adieu...
Yes, those are mini hamburgers that I grilled. Ignore the white spots...I put oatmeal in my hamburgers, among other things. I cut up a dinner roll as well as some cheese and he put them together at school. The day before this he had a taco lunchable (which is actually a Hel-riginal).
This was a huge success and I will be more than willing to do it again!! Geordie didn't even comment that it was lacking a candy!!Meanwhile I've been busy trying to figure out how to bake on the Grill (BBQ for you whitey's up north!). I have finally found success...
Using the instructions from here minus the box cake and can of icing. I am a bit of a snob and prefer to make from scratch. So I used my grandmother's chocolate cake recipe and my Aunt's icing recipe...
To begin you mix up the cake with icing;
You then roll it into balls and then shape them to your liking. As I was trying to make eggs this is what the result was;
Let them set in the fridge then put them on sticks with just a little bit of chocolate on the end of the stick to 'glue' it in. Again, let set in fridge (freezer if you're in a rush). Once set dip 'em in chocolate;
To the fridge they go to set once again;
Here's the final (for some reason blogger keeps making this picture vertical);
Really, they look pretty good and they are as easy as pie...or would that be cake?!?!
Do you know that during high school I worked at a movie theatre and I used to be able to get off early if I promised not to tell a joke for a week.
