Easy Popsicle Cleanup

With this handy, easy tip, you'll never have to worry about cleaning up a popsicle mess again!

Strawberry Parfait Popsicles

A go-to in our house is Strawberry Parfait Popsicles. A popsicle laced with strawberry preserves, granola, and creamy vanilla yogurt. A fun summer treat you can make with the kids and enjoy guilt-free on a hot day.

Strawberry Creamsicle Recipe

To usher in the summer of 2013, we took our boys to a big city park for a walk. And Popsicles. Twelve dollars later, the two older boys had swirly Cyclones, lemonade ice-pops on sticks that are always too short and which hasten the inevitable sticky mess. The little one had a healthier frozen strawberry bar, and sweetly believed that he had the same as his older cousins.

Here is a recipe that says summertime almost as sweetly.

Dairy-Free Summer Treats

We have all heard the tune, "I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream," but what if you are dairy intolerant and can’t partake in those ice cream trolleys that drive around your neighbourhood?

Make your own popsicles and frozen dairy free treats, so when the day is hot and you are looking for a treat, they are a simple reach into your deep freeze.

Breakfast Popsicles Recipe

I'm not going to lie — as a full-time-work-outside-the-home-mom breakfast often involves me tossing a few granola bars at my kids while we make a mad dash for the car. That's why I try really (really!) hard to come up with creative, make-ahead breakfast ideas that are not only healthy but are things my kids will actually eat without complaints (because complaints take time in the morning we just don't have). This week we tried something new we now fondly refer to as Breakfast Popsicles and if I told you my kids L-O-V-E-D them it would be an understatement.

Healthy Homemade Fudgsicle Recipe

These homemade fudgsicles are the new favourite treat in my house; my kids love them and I do, too. They are healthy, vegan, and wonderfully creamy. They are also a snap to put together — after all, in summertime the living should be easy!

Delicious Homemade Strawberry Dreamsicles

I wish I could gather all of my friends and family in my backyard for a Strawberry Social, but since many of my dearest friends live thousands of kilometers away, I will have to settle for a virtual one. The next time you enjoy a bowl of delectable crimson strawberries, or maybe this icy and creamy Strawberry Dreamsicle, think of me, tying on my imaginary Sunday-best bonnet and dreaming of days gone by.

Homemade Popsicles

I've been juicing a lot lately which means I've been buying a lot of fruits and vegetables. Unfortunately I went a bit overboard the first week and ended up with three containers of strawberries that were in danger of going bad so the kids and I made popsicles. Now you can too.
