Obviously making your own was much more labor intensive right? Not so much. Even I can carve out an extra 5 minutes in a day to make homemade beer bread.

Mango Coconut Striped Popsicles. We are in the midst of the dog days of summer.

Mango Coconut Striped Popsicles

The days are long, the sun is bright, and the nights are cool and fresh. In the summer, I'm drawn to fresh foods, light dinners, and chilled treats. Though my usual desserts during the summer are ripe fruits, some days I just need something a little different.

Despite lacking the baking gene, I resolved to make macaroons after eating one of those canned abominations so prevalent this time of year. It turned out to be quite easy, surprisingly enough, thanks to Martha. The recipe didn’t include chocolate, but c’mon.
