It's springtime and it's starting to get warm, even HOT at times.
The sunshine and desire to be outside constantly means it's Popsicle season!
I bought these Popsicle molds at Target for like $2.99, I think. They have little straws for sipping the parts of the Popsicle that start to melt while you are eating it. Sweet little addition, no? I purchased a container of Pink Lemonade mix and some fresh strawberries and made some deliciously cool treats to enjoy in the hot weather we've been basking in. Simply add water to the mix per the directions on the label and add pureed strawberry. I let the strawberry lemonade sit for a few hours in the fridge to allow the strawberry flavor to mingle with the pink lemonade before adding it to the molds.
And ta-da!!! We had some friends over and all the kids loved them. An added bonus is that these Popsicles are thicker and sturdier than the ones you buy at the store generally so Elise (2 years old) was holding hers upside down and sideways, and no pieces broke off, and there were a few (if any) small drips that found their way to our patio concrete. Of course, if it's 100 degrees out, no Popsicle of any kind is going to last more than 2 minutes out in the sun...
Keep posted for more Popsicle flavors and ideas coming soon!! This is our new addiction around here (and probably will be until October)
YUMMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
