As well, if you don’t have time to roll the mixture into meatballs, you can either use a spring release scoop (ice cream scoop) to scoop them into muffin tins. This also helps speed up the cooking time. Or you can make one meatloaf out of the mixture. Granted the meatloaf will take longer to cook, 45 to 55 minutes, but reguires much less hands off time of rolling each ball.
You see I was cold Busted!!!After I laughed and laughed, told everybody I talked to, posted it on Facebook and blogged about it, which is not out of the ordinary for me to do when something is side-splitting funny! However, this time Ryder overheard someone, who shall remain nameless, laughing about his ‘butt cake‘ statement. Now, I had to sign a non-disclosure! Which in 7 year old world speak is a Pinky Swear!!Basically, I had to Pinky Swear not to use his material. Really, is he planning to blog about it?Or, write a book? (because he doesn’t totally get noun/verb agreement!) Isn’t this what Mother’s do, laugh at their kids? Use their best stuff to promote the blog… to get a laugh? I mean, what was the point of 18 months of pregnancy26 hours of labor and endless nights of sleeplessness…If I can’t make fun of my own kids?!? Totally kidding. 😉

Kids say the darnedest things! I tell my kids that when they have kids of their own, they will understand! It's kind of a parental right to laugh at them sometimes 😉 Your meatballs sound delish, Paula!

Lol… I love hearing what your kids say ! I told my family the one in which you showed your son your pic and article and he replied something like pity you are not famous or something – they had a good laugh!! {so I am not very “trustworthy” with goodies like that – but I still want to hear about them 😉 }
