Strawberry Raspberry Popsicles - Je suis alimentageuse. Layered Ice Cream Pops. Strawberry-Kiwi Yogurt Freezer Pops Recipe by CHEF_MEG. Coconut Strawberry Banana Smoothie. So, it's Memorial Day Weekend and, at least where I live, that can only mean one thing... ...the official start of summer.

Which is something I used to get really excited for. Warm weather, lots of time at the beach and in the sun, barbecues and corn on the cob, getting crazy with your friends, etc etc. Now... not so much. While I do still like all these things, (although at this point, 'getting crazy' means making it past 11PM and maybe throwing in a glass of wine) summer has become somewhat of a hassle. For one, it seems like there's always a party or barbecue or wedding or some other type of shindig to go to. Also, its awfully hot. I guess that means it's working. Worst of all, there are tons of tourists & day-trippers around, which also means lots & lots of TRAFFIC. (In case you don't know, I live a couple miles from the beach at the Jersey Shore - except, unlike good old Snookie and JWowwwwww, I acually grew up here.)

By Megan, on July 7th, 2012 We can’t seem to get enough of peanut-butter-based desserts in our house. We’ve had a steady stash of flourless peanut butter cookies in our freezer for the last few months, but now that it’s getting warmer outside, a lighter treat seems more appropriate. Like this ice cream. With only two ingredients, it’s almost too good to be true.

Peanut Butter Banana Ice Cream (Dairy-free & Vegan) serves 2 Ingredients: 2 frozen bananas 2 Tablespoons organic natural peanut butter water, if needed to facilitate blending Directions: Break the frozen bananas into chunks and toss them into a mini food processor, along with the peanut butter.

I can’t wait to try using more spinach and seeing if the taste is still unnoticeable.

I’ve tried this both with raw spinach and steamed and couldn’t taste it in either batch. I have read that eating cooked spinach is better than raw, but I’m sure that is disputed.

I used to live in Washington, DC, where the summers are sticky, hot, and gross.

My apartment was only a 10-minute walk from my office through a lovely part of town, but all summer long I found myself dreading the way that a few minutes in the stifling summer heat would transform me into a red-faced mess with frizzy hair and rivulets of perspiration chasing down my neck. At my wits end one morning, I opened the freezer in search of something to help keep me cool. That's when I spotted the Popsicles. Icy cold, sweet, refreshing. I grabbed one and my keys, and headed out. It was perfect! Since moving back to New York, I haven't had to deal with an unpleasant commute.
