WATERMELON POPSICLES WITH GREEK YOGURT


Turn luscious watermelon into a divine, quick and easy refreshing snack for all day, any day with these watermelon pops.

I don’t know what it is but I feel so drawn to watermelons this time of year. Maybe it’s the pink and green colors that make watermelon look and feel like a happy treat. Or maybe it’s the sweetness or the fact that a slice of watermelon easily satisfies my thirst on these hot days. 

Watermelons are great not only fresh but in ice creams and popsicles too. The homemade watermelon popsicles are a great alternative to store bought sugar filled pops. These super-easy, fruity frozen watermelon pops have just 3 ingredients and are made in a snap.

These easy watermelon popsicles are the perfect summer treat for both kids and adults. They’re healthy, sugar-free, creamy, cool, and perfectly sweet.  Packed with all the goodness of fresh watermelon, these will quickly become a family favorite.

Store bought pops are fine and convenient but these popsicles are better for you and they cost a whole lot less. There are also no wrappers to throw out and you can make them quickly.

RASPBERRY MASCARPONE TART WITH CHOCOLATE COOKIE CRUST

A dark chocolate cookie crust filled with whipped mascarpone and topped with raspberries.  Perfect for Valentine’s Day! Do you do anything special for Valentine’s Day?  We really don’t go like to go crazy for this “holiday”, our life is crazy enough 🙂  Although you won’t find us in a restaurant,  maybe I’ll make dessert.   Sometimes I’ll make a heart shaped breakfast for the kids, or some heart shaped cookies.  So creative I know! Stepping away from the hearts this year, but I definitely think that for Valentine’s Day chocolate is a must!  That’s why I started this tart with a dark chocolate cookie crust.  The rich chocolate flavor goes perfectly well with the smooth creamy whipped mascarpone filling.  Mascarpone cheese is a little indulgent (and challenging to spell!) but what better excuse than love to bake with the best ingredients. A few simple raspberries are the topping.  I just love the gorgeous color they gave t...

Portland Homeless Couple Run Japanese-Fusion Hot Dog Cart

Portland Homeless Couple Run Japanese-Fusion Hot Dog Cart : " I found Budd and Grae Lewis outside of the Springwater Church Holiday Bazaar in Gresham this weekend. The Lewises own Domo Dogs , a Japanese-fusion hot dog cart that has no permanent location—much like the Lewises, who became homeless last year. Until then, they'd owned a lovely and modest home in St. Helens. Budd Lewis used to be a successful writer and animator who worked on TV shows like 'Smurfs' while Grae Lewis worked as a technician designing Intel chips. Just before the economy crashed, Grae left her job to retrain as a publisher, anticipating that her job at Intel would either be outsourced or rendered "obsolete". But tuition at her Vancouver, Canada, college was much higher than expected, and the Lewises quickly ran out of savings. To make matters worse, their renter bailed and the couple's home was foreclosed on—a fact they learned when they pulled into their driveway and saw a ...
