6/28 Opening Our Hearts

Last Friday we brought a puppy into our home to foster. She is a ten week old Papillon with the energy of a nuclear reactor. She weighs only two pounds, so she resembles a  hummingbird with sharp teeth and nails. She is as soft as a rabbit and her little paws and belly are pink […]

6/26 Melon All Fruit Pops

In the Summer I love making popsicles. I enjoy the indulgence of frozen treats and the sensibility of making it myself with delicious and readily available ingredients.

6/3 Strawberry Balsamic Popsicles

Happy Meatless Monday and self proclaimed All Things Frozen Week. This week I want to celebrate the return of Summer by  focusing on dairy free desserts to enjoy as the sun blazes overhead. It has been steamy hot here in Michigan. The kind of hot  that makes you want to eat popsicles for lunch and […]
