Quarter Life (Crisis) Cuisine: Cooling off the Summer -- Kiwi Moscato Popsicles. EDIT 6/23/14: Hey everyone from Buzzfeed! Glad you're enjoying my recipe! Let me know what you think in the comments, and if you enjoy my site feel free to check out the homepage and follow me on Facebook, Twitter, and/or Instagram :) Summer has finally cooled down a bit--in more ways than one! Not only has the heat wave broken for the time being, but I actually find myself not rushing off to somewhere else once I get home. It's a nice feeling. I'm sad I had to drop the play I was in--a friend's wedding on one of the performance dates has made me unable to commit to it after all--but I'm enjoying the free time. Weekends are still busy, I'm pretty much visiting friends or off on mini vacations with other friends, but it's a good kind of busy. My boyfriend has a new job, the coveted 9-to-5, except 7-to-4, so I'm loving the extra time with him as well.
The cooler weather (well, not by much, it's in the 80s, but better than 100s!) Kiwi Moscato Popsicles (Makes 8 small pops) Time for a Mudslide…on a Stick. Fall is almost here and with that we are letting up on the fruit in the Poptails-a bit. But what we are not letting up on is the booze. Get your mixing hands ready for this mudslide with a twist. We went and added a banana in the mix. The sweetness of the banana neutralizes any tang the vanilla yogurt body may have, and adds a bit of creaminess to the mixture. There you have it, enjoy your Endless Simmer twist-up of the traditional mudslide, in a Poptail. Mudslide Poptail 18 oz. vanilla yogurt 1 banana, medium size (2oz) 3 oz. vodka 3 oz.

My tongue puts grapefruit juice and tonic water in the same ahhhhhh what is that??! MAKE IT STOP!! Category. It took me a long time to warm up to grapefruit…so maybe I have it in me to one day like tonic water? I dunno. And here we have my favorite cocktail in POPSICLE FORM!!! And we’re off! First things first. Break up the cucumber and add the rest of the ingredients (sans the ginger beer!) Lime squeeze! Blended! I held off on blending it all together initially cuz I didn’t want a foamy mess. We fill up our popsicle molds! This recipe makes eight popsicles. If you’re using these popsicle molds, freeze the pops without the sticks for about 40 minutes.
And we take them out of the molds! What else can we do with them? Makes 81 large cucumber, peeled with seeds removedjuice of 2 limes2 oz. simple syrup2 oz. Watermelon-Mint Tequila Popsicles. Hey! It’s Monday! I hope you all had a good weekend. I did a bit of joint garage-sale-ing with the neighbors (I made a whopping $6!) , afternoon napping, and popsicle eating. I’ve been lusting after this popsicle mold for days now…it’s so classic and nostalgic, I love it and finally ordered it.
Once it hit the doorstep on Friday morning, I whipped up this batch of popsicles. Watermelon-Mint Tequila Popsicles To make these kiddo friendly, simply ditch the booze. 1/4 cup water 1/4 cup sugar 1/3 cup fresh mint, torn coarsely 4 cups watermelon, cubed juice of 2 limes 1/3 cup tequila In a small saucepan combine water, sugar, and mint. With a stick blender, regular blender, or food processor, puree the watermelon with the lime juice.
Peach Sangria Popsicles Recipe. Cocktails on a stick? It’s happened before (hello, Skinny Margarita Popsicles!) , and it’ll happen again thanks to this boozy fruit-filled recipe for Peach Sangria Popsicles. But when it comes to mixing alcohol with dessert, there’s one simple trick: Don’t overdo it on the sugar content of your cocktail. Booze + excess sugar = one seriously unsweet hangover. So I’ve skipped the added sugar altogether in this popsicle recipe and instead relied on a splash of peach juice and the natural sweetness of the fruit itself to balance out the dryness of the white wine. If you’ve got a serious Peach Sangria Popsicle craving but don’t own popsicle molds, you can always MacGyver your way into creating these cocktails on a stick by simply using shot glasses (or, let’s be honest, regular size glasses) in place of the popsicle molds.

S'mores Cake in a Jar. Oh friends. Hi. How are you? Judging from the above picture, you can assume I’m doing well. I’m not going hungry, that’s for sure. Guess what? I had a lovely dinner recipe to share with you today. S’mores jar cakes clearly top dinner recipes. Let’s talk mason jars. More on mason jars?

Homemade pop tarts. I never had a Pop-Tart until college. I realize that for some people this may cause a shocked reaction on par with my husband’s the time I told him I’ve never watched Goonies before (or Jacob’s, upon discovering the internet).
Obviously I grew up under a rock, right? Thus, given my proximity to concrete-like materials you’d think I have been better prepared for the texture of the one I purchased from the vending machine in the basement of my freshman dorm (not at 4 a.m. or anything, either, nope, not this angel!). But I was not. I understand that if I had toasted it, my experience might have been better. I can’t believe I waited so long to make these. Most recipes I have come across use a pie dough for the pastry but I was really stuck on getting a crust that was a little more sturdy — one with an egg.

Related. Dark and Damp Molasses Cake. This is a cake that should come with a warning: Only proceed if you love molasses. If you do love molasses and its dark, bitter sweetness, then proceed immediately, and with haste. This cake is dark, fudgy, damp and rich. It's like a chocolate cake for people who don't like chocolate. I am one of those people who loves molasses even more than chocolate — I love how it balances sugar sweetness with bitterness and a cascade of funky sour notes.
And yet I never feel that molasses desserts really show off what it can do. Most molasses baked goods (including my favorite molasses cookies) are really just spice desserts darkened up with molasses. What would happen if I put molasses front and center? And so this cake was born. It is saved from being overly rich, however, with that little edge of bitterness that comes at the the end of every bite, sending you back for another. If this sounds good to you, please try it and let me know what you think.
So, there you have it, molasses-lovers. Devil's Food Cupcakes. Banana Soft Serve (It’s Homemade One Ingredient Ice Cream, SERIOUSLY!)
