Raspberry Yogurt Popsicles

Posted on May 22, 2018 by Jamie H

Refreshingly cool Raspberry Yogurt Popsicles are good for you and kid approved! During the summer, my family loves popsicles. I don’t like the idea of all that sugar and dyes, though, so I make a lot of popsicles to help keep the kiddos cool. My favorite thing is to put tons of fruit into the homemade popsicles. I’ve made pure fruit popsicles that are 100% fruit. I’ve also made ones with raspberries and lemonade. We switch it up, so I’m always coming up with new ideas for homemade popsicles, and these raspberry yogurt popsicles are my latest. (Speaking of ideas–

Raspberry Lemonade Popsicles

Posted on July 24, 2017 by Jamie H

Refreshingly sweet and tart, these Raspberry Lemonade Popsicles are perfect for the hot summer weather! During the summer, my kids eat a lot of popsicles. I don’t like to buy the ones from the store that are basically just sugar and artificial dyes. And the ones made with real fruit are usually quite expensive, so we make our own, like these simple raspberry lemonade popsicles. Many years ago, I invested in a popsicle mold. I love that I can make my own popsicles with anything I want! After using a popsicle mold for a few years, I realized that I

Tortellini Salad

Posted on July 3, 2017 by Lucy

Tortellini Salad is a delicious & fresh tasting salad that is perfect for a summer side dish! Full of summer squash, zucchini & other yummy summery ingredients. This is an updated version of a recipe & post I shared in 2013. Both the pictures & the recipe has been updated but the rest of the post remains the same. I mentioned back in April that at my church’s salad supper, someone had brought a terrific and yummy Tortellini Salad. I started to look for a recipe but none of them seemed quite right. So I made my own and added

Dark Chocolate Berry Salad

Posted on July 21, 2016 by Jamie H

Dark chocolate and berries come together in this delightfully light and fluffy salad! Is Dark Chocolate Berry Salad a salad or a dessert? It’s up to you! My sister-in-law makes a Pistachio Pudding that’s delicious and super easy! I got the recipe from her, and have made it several times, but right before the 4th of July when I went to the store they were missing one of the ingredients. I needed to figure out something else to make for our family picnic, and didn’t want to run all over town looking for ingredients, so I came up with a

Mocha Pops

Posted on April 25, 2016 by Jamie H

Your favorite coffee in popsicle form, these Mocha Pops are refreshing and energizing! My husband and I met when I worked at a coffee shop. He was one of my customers. He finally worked up the nerve to ask me on a date, and 5 months later we got married. The rest is history, right? I’ve always loved my coffee (and my food) hot, hot, hot. But my husband loves his coffee iced. It can be the middle of the summer, and my coffee is hot and his is iced. Middle of the winter, my coffee is hot and his

Build an Ice Cream Bar with Smucker’s

Posted on August 3, 2015 by Jamie H

I was given the opportunity by The J.M. Smucker Company to review and build an ice cream sundae bar using Smucker’s® Ice Cream Toppings. Smucker’s® is sponsoring the post, but the opinions and ideas are all mine! We love ice cream. I mean, really, is there anyone out there who doesn’t love ice cream? (Obviously those with milk allergies and lactose problems– but is there anyone who can eat ice cream but doesn’t like it? I think not.) So one fun thing that my family likes to do is have an ice cream sundae bar! It’s so easy to put

Summer Sundaes with Smucker’s & Walmart #SundaeFundae

Posted on July 27, 2015 by Lucy

Summer is Sundae Season and Smucker’s® & Walmart has got you covered with everything you need to make everyday a #SundaeFundae. *Thanks to Smucker’s® Ice Cream Toppings and Walmart for sponsoring this post. All opinions are 100% my own. It’s been hot here. Really hot. So we’ve been keeping cool by enjoying the pool, cranking the air conditioner, and eating ice cream. But while we love plain ole ice cream, there is something extra special about a sundae. And it’s a fun summer treat for the whole family. But we were woefully low on sundae supplies! Smucker’s® Caramel Syrup has always
