Comment by Kat (MM Nuke) on May 15, 2011 at 9:58pm: Elizabeth, ya, for us we have the salmon burgers a lot. They come in a big tube bag of about 16 burgers, from Costco, so we have them around a lot. I actually use them in salads to add protein too, so they are kind of standard around here. But I hadn't used any in a couple months. Sweet potato fries, well, ya, we got into them a while back. I found another big back in the deep freeze so had to start using them. i did make up a big meat loaf too, for tomorrow night, so dinner will be easy then.

Comment by Sharon ~ K's Mom on May 15, 2011 at 9:50pm: Reading back through so many pages, wow!!

I am loving our new slogan!!!! I have to make more Cake Pops for a friend who has a friend that will be getting married in July. So, I am making something different. I ordered a "My LIttle Cupcake" mold and it makes mini "cupcakes." It is really cool and I can't wait to see how they turn out. I am making these and cake pops and decorating them and will place them in a flower pot, wrap it in a bag with ribbon. I will take pictures of course and put them on Sym's Chocolates. I finally finished over 250 "Africa" shaped sugar cookies for a fundraiser for a girl at our church. I have a company that makes custom cookies cutters, so I got one in the shape of "Africa" as that is where she is going on a "Missons" trip over the summer. Then I iced them with royal icing in the colors of the flag. I was very happy with how they turned out being the first time I have done them.

The mold for mini cupcakes for those that are interested is:

You too will find this very cool and a new fun way to make "Cake Pops!"

Long day as well as long weekend. Dinner tonight for us was a mix of mini pizza's and fried sausage that needed to be cooked. I am loving the sounds of the pound cake with liquer!!! You will have to let us know how good it tasted!!!!

Comment by elizabeth77(USS SAN FRANCISCO) on May 15, 2011 at 9:14pm: Missing a p for the pound cake...oops

Comment by elizabeth77(USS SAN FRANCISCO) on May 15, 2011 at 9:13pm: Is salmon burgers and sweet potato fries a rut? Sounds too good to be a rut to me. Can't really share any ideas tonight. Was going to make a rather common for us and I'm sure many others, baked chicken, rice and artichokes but the chicken was not defrosted and I hate to nuke it to defrost it so we ordered a pizza. Now that I have eaten it I feel less than healthy and yucky. Tomorrow we will have the chicken which is marinating...although it's still partially frozen.

My 26 year old daughter wants to make a sour cream lemon ound cake and I keep wondering if she will notice if it's mixed with lemonchello liquer and dipped in chooclate tomorrow morning....

Comment by swim4life on May 15, 2011 at 8:47pm: okay, I couldn't stand it anymore. All this great knowledge getting away from us. Check out the NEW DISCUSSION (above) NUKE MOMS HAVE BALLS!

Comment by mn linda (nuke MM ELT Groton CT) on May 15, 2011 at 8:40pm: I just sent a reply to a message that I had in my inbox on N4M.

Comment by Binker & Bro: 2X Nuke Mom on May 15, 2011 at 8:12pm: For those helping me with my predicament--I am using N4M but it will not let me respond to anything in my inbox. I have shut down the site, shut down my computer, sent a problem email (it went through immediately), reset my settings. Nothing works. I even went back and tried to send a message to an old BC friend and couldnt get it to go through. I know it used to work because I used to respond frequently during those boot camp days.

Please send my ever growing butt a huge pile of alcohol induced nuke mom balls. I need some now!

Comment by Kat (MM Nuke) on May 15, 2011 at 7:50pm: Now that we are getting the cake balls figured out, what's for dinner? We'll have to share dinner ideas so we can get out of our ruts and make something new and exciting.

Tonight we're having salmon burgers and sweet potato fries.

Comment by NavyMomLG on May 15, 2011 at 7:45pm: Oops, meant Nuke Moms not Navy Moms. Typing faster than I can think I guess.

Comment by NavyMomLG on May 15, 2011 at 7:45pm: Love the idea of using Bailey's, or another liqueur instead of frosting for the cake balls! Now I am really going to have to try this. At least starting with a box mix the first time will make it a cheap experiment. I actually may flavor the frosting with a liqueur...hmmm. "Navy Moms Have Balls made me laugh out loud, family knew I was on N4M's again :)
