Blueberry Sorbet Recipe
Hope springs eternal. At least when it comes to my garden. I planted a small blueberry bush earlier this spring, only to watch it slowly lose leaves down to a few bare stems. Visions of blueberry glory, dashed! We’ve moved the plant to a new location, a bit more shaded, and planted a new blueberry bush near it, so (and this where the eternal hope comes in) maybe we’ll have some lovely blueberries next year.
Strawberry Shortcake Popsicles: A Surprising Summer Treat
I grew up knowing Strawberry Shortcake more as a character who battled with the Peculiar Purple Pie Man for reasons unclear than as a dessert, but now it’s one of my favorites. When the first real strawberries start to appear in stores and farmer’s markets, my thoughts immediately turn to strawberry shortcake. We’ve been experimenting with popsicles at Brooklyn Supper HQ lately, so with the start of strawberry season, I thought it would be a great time to try this classic dessert in popsicle form.

Fresh fruit with a splash of juice makes a fresh and healthy snack. Use whatever fruit you're heart desires. A perfect summer treat! These are so simple and so darn cute, my one year old probably had just as much fun playing with them as she did eating them. Super easy to make and no fancy gadgets required, you'll need small 5 oz disposable cups and some craft sticks.
Frozen Fruit Pops
Popsicles don’t seem to be a big thing here in France so I was happy to see this alternative on Real Simple : Watermelon pops! An easy way to give your kids fruit and they’ll have fun eating it too. Wouldn’t it taste so refreshing on a hot day? I love the idea of adding a cupcake liner to the stick (for catching juicy drips) like it’s shown below. Before I head off to the outdoor market, can anyone give me advice on how to pick a good watermelon? Who needs plain-old popsicles, anyway?

Creamy Mango Gelato and a Giveaway
This is a sponsored review from BlogHer and La Crème. It may not be summer, yet, but my belly is already screaming for ice cream. You know the saying…I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream!
This has been the hottest summer we’ve had in Chicago for a long time. Really, really hot. I would take 50° over 90° any day, especially here in the Midwest where the 90° is accompanied by 100% humidity. But before I turn into a blogger who complains about the weather (too late?) I will tell you how we’ve been combating it: frozen treats.
