Chocolate covered pretzels are one of the world’s great treats. Salty, sweet and creamy; everything you’d want, really. So I decided to make them in ice pop form: Instead of using my usual chocolate base, I decided to make a second pop using that great Philly chocolate stuff I’d posted about a while back. I [...]
I’ve mentioned before that I am a sucker for new things, so when I saw this new line of juices is the store, I had to try it in an ice pop: It’s a line of juice blends from “Cuties” — the same brand that distributes clementines, my kids’ favorite fruit. The primary ingredient is [...]
When I’m making ice pops, I usually really like to work out my own recipes. I can’t, of course, claim that all of the pops I make are my original ideas. But I do enjoy the trial-and-error process of making my own “recipes.” Today’s pop is not my own recipe, however. I found it on [...]
If there’s a downside to writing this blog, it’s that sometimes I really want to repeat a pop. Today, for instance, I really just wanted a good ol’ chocolate ice pop. Nothing fancy or special, just chocolatey goodness. But while I never promised that I’d do a new pop every day, I have a hard [...]

The ingredients: I used all cream instead of a cream/milk mixture because honestly? We’d just finished our last bit of milk and I was too lazy to open [...]
Today was…a day. It started with all three kids home (one on school break, one sick, one tiny and teething) and included a dryer fire (PSA from me to you — Do not leave the house while the dryer is running. I shudder to think what would have happened if I’d been out when it [...]
Having discovered that delicious coconut yogurt the other day, I was champing at the bit to see if the brand’s other flavors were nearly as good, so: The raspberry sauce was leftover from breakfast Sunday morning, and is nothing more than frozen raspberries cooked down with a splash of lemonade. We ate it over pancakes, [...]
