Berry White Chocolate Yogurt Popsicles

TGIF

We survived.

We made it.

Woohoooo.

Guys, what a doozy this week has been. Worse thing was that I was so convinced yesterday was Friday that I even had a second glass of wine with my sissy and bestie Ashton.

At least a long weekend awaits!!!

We are all about the popsicles this summer and the smoothie ones were a hit. I took this recipe and added sliced berries.

This one is sweet and tart (hello berries, white chocolate and greek yogurt) and can easily fool a toddler into thinking they are having dessert.

outfit + headband picked by my three-ager because " it just matches".

Ingredients

Coconut Water

Greek Yogurt (I used one with blueberry because we had it on hand)

Sliced strawberries

fresh blueberries

couple pieces of white chocolate

Recipe

Keep toddler from sliced berries and chocolate.

in each mold scoop a tablespoon of greek yogurt, few slices of berries and chocolate.

repeat in same order.

Top each popsicle with coconut water.

Wiggle molds to let the water settle in.

Freeze for 6+ hours

We like to make in the AM and enjoy them for dessert! And it makes for a really great toddler bribe to remind them of what awaits if they behave all day.

Next up are some chocolate chia seed pops for next week. Sooooo excited because I think I have the recipe down! Now tell me what are your favorite popsicle combos?

Oh and hoping to send out a sales newsletter (only sent out to subscribers) tonight, anyone interested in that??

Happy weekend mamas!

Twist on the Classic Jack & Ginger

For Father's Day I wanted to mix up my hubby's favorite drink but with a twist. Citrus, honey and a kick from some freshly brewed ginger tea. It was soooo yummy, light and best served with crushed ice. I actually made a whole pitcher of it but remade it yesterday afternoon for us to enjoy.

Ingredients

1 inch fresh ginger (peeled)

1 cup of boiling water

1/4 cup of honey (or less)

1/2 cup of freshly squeezed citrus (I used lemon, clementine and limes)

1 cup of seltzer water

3 shots of Jack Daniels Tennessee Honey (separated)

2 sprigs of rosemary & couple slices of lemon for the garnish

Makes 2.5 large cocktails or 4 small. Double or triple for a crowd.

Recipe

First make the ginger tea:

Pour 2 cups of boiling water onto about 1inch piece of peeled ginger.

Let it sit covered for 7-10 minutes to brew.

Refrigerate to cool tea or add ice if you are in a rush.

Mix all of the ingredients in a pitcher or if you a have a martini shaker that will work too!

(I've also made it with a few ginger tea bags, just make sure it has a kick! But ginger beer would also be great in this, may try it next time.

Garnish with a sprig of rosemary and a slice of lemon, the aroma of the rosemary pairs soooo nicely.

it's like a honey lemonade with a kick. And the perfect mocktail too!

Hope you are all enjoy this as much as we did.

Happy weekend!

12 Fun Lunch Ideas for Picky Toddlers

Happy Tuesday my friends.

We are back from two weeks of road trip travel and all I am craving is our routine..

As I was meal planning, I was thinking about different fun foods for Z (because 3-agers are not fans of the same thing two days in a row!). So on the hunt I went, easy-ish healthy and toddler approved.

Toothpick "kabobs" are her favorites, she feels like she is a grown up because in Zoe's words it's an appesiiza. lol. Sometimes I make them with fruit or bread and cheese, add a protein like chicken, turkey or stick the toothpicks in what ever we are eating. Mainly to take her away from the idea of any witching hour meltdowns! But hands down her favorite is anything with a pepperoni and roasted turkey (just like her mama!!). Our friends over at Dietz & Watson make the absolute best deli meats, annddddddd of course you can get it right on Amazon Fresh! bam!

Here are 12 fun toddler approved meals for you to try this spring!

1. Toddler Tasting Trays - we use to do this when Zoe was younger and she loved it.

2. Caprese Skewers (I use the balsamic drizzle as a dipping sauce)

3. Sandwich on a Stick (love these!)

4. Cereal Breakfast bites ( I'd make these with sun butter!)

5. Toddler Trail Mix (I'd pipits, cacao nibs, dried fruit and really make it a heathy !)

6. Homemade Lunchables, these no fuss ones look great, and something I would eat!

7. Green Monster Toddler Muffins (hide veggies into muffins!)

8. Egg Muffins !! Serve with a piece of bread and jelly (per my toddler)

9. Mini Tortilla Pizza ( I actually love these for me too!)

10.Baked chicken nuggets I posted a while ago (Z was so little!) are on my list for this weekend. Make extra and freeze!!

11. Mac n Cheese bites - perfect for party apps too! sub any veggies your kiddo may like!

12. Sweet potato burgers - make them mini and serve with ketchup!

These are super easy to pack up on a picnic, make ahead for playdates or simply serve your little picky babe for lunch or dinner!
