Summer comes around and my first thought for a summer snack is popsicles, ice- cream, lemonade...
SUGAR, SUGAR, SUGAR

I don't know about you, but I am constantly trying to avoid sugar!
It is everywhere, in everything..

Summer is here and I found this recipe that I really like!

The recipe that I found on Pinterest was a  pretty small batch.
I decided with 4 kids, I might as well make a large batch!

Frozen Fruit Pops


Watermelon
Kiwi
Strawberries
Pineapples

Mix your choice of fruit together.
Spoon fruit mixture into small cups.
Pour orange juice, pineapple juice or lemonade to cover the fruit.
(Really, you can use your favorite juice!)

This batch I used the leftover fruit that I had for the fruit pizzas.

Canned Peaches
Raspberries
Apples
Kiwi
Grapes
I spooned a little bit of strawberry yogurt in the cup first, then a spoonful of fruit.
Then I poured a bit of juice to fill up the cup.
Popsicle sticks work great, I didn't have any, so I used plastic forks.

















Healthy and the kids love them!

    Sounds so good and refreshing! One of the first things we do in the summer is make a HUGE (5 gallons or more) of fruit slush for the freezer. It's a lot like your fruit/juice mixture (Ours has lots of bananas too) but I freeze it in half gallon containers or those rectangular soft margarine containers. Less waste using reusable containers and we usually eat that much in one setting anyway. We don't have a microwave anymore but you could probably just nuk it in there for a couple of minutes to soften it enough to scoop out with an ice cream scoop. We set ours in hot water for a few minutes. I also make popsicles out of homemade yogurt or homemade pudding. (Homemade means I can use less sugar!) ~Iris

When investment pays off

By
By Wanda This morning I drug myself out of bed at 6:00 - trying to be a "good" mom and get up before my kids.  Actually - I am trying to be a WISE mom and get up before my kids, even during summer vacation. I don't do very well at this - I truly love to sleep - could be my sleep apnea kicking in, however, I try. My trying amounted to moving from my bed, to the sofa downstairs - and I fell asleep. I was awakened about 7:45 by my 10 year old daughter - who touched my shoulder and said, "Here, Mommy."  She presented me with this platter that she had prepared on her own, with no instruction or supervision - at least this morning.  She has been making eggs for a few years, under my supervision - I have taught her how to make coffee - and how I like my coffee..... and her eggs were awesome.  She apologized that she didn't make toast - I was plum out of bread.... Eggs, fresh coffee, just the way I like it - without being asked - it can't get any be

Popcorn!

By
Jolly Time Popcorn For those of you who know my husband, he has a sense of humor that I love! He's been making fun of me for taking soooo many pictures of FOOD lately. When I started taking this impromptu video of him making popcorn, he got right into it! Jolly Time Popcorn: Pour  about 1/ 2 cup oil in the kettle.  May need to adjust measurements to fit your kettle size. Turn to a high heat and add 1/2 cup kernels. Be sure to keep a close eye on it and shake it to keep the kernels from burning. Once all the kernels stop popping remove from heat and salt. When Jeff and I first got married I didn't eat popcorn. I really didn't like getting the kernels stuck between my teeth! Then he introduced me to Tiny Tender Popcorn and Ladyfinger. I couldn't believe the difference! Every time we go to Indiana, Ohio or Pennsylvania we buy as much as we can. We can go through a 50 lb bag in about 1 year! It's a relatively healthy snack, and it
