Soft Frozen Lemonade Pops


It's too darn hot.

I'm melting.  

And since it seems like there is no end in sight for this Florida summer, I'm going to eat popsicles.


These pops are inspired by one of my childhood food fads - Minute Maid Frozen Lemonade Pops.

I was nuts for these pops. Sweet, tart and creamy - the perfect cross between a lemon ice and a lemon ice cream. The perfect way to end a summer day.

I recently remembered them and decided to swing through the ice cream novelties section to pick some up. I unconsciously looked at the nutrition facts/ingredients list, and I thought, I can do better than that.

Guys, we did pretty well here.


Fresh-squeezed lemon juice, sugar, yogurt, water. Tha'sit.

Salted Chocolate Popcorn

I wish movie theaters sold this popcorn.


The moment that pimply teenager tears my ticket in half and hands me my stub, I start the internal debate: salty or sweet?


Raspberry Vodka-Steeped Frozen Grapes

You know what's better than a snack with a cocktail? A boozy snack with a cocktail.


Honestly, if these were on the menu the night I had them, I might have passed on my bourbon and ginger and just asked for a rocks glass full of these bad boys.

Midway through that bourbon and ginger, the bartender nonchalantly placed a bowl of these in front of us as if they were just your standard bowl of mixed nuts. Once she told us what they were, the next thing I asked was, "are they boozy?"

Just trying to be responsible here, people.



These bad boys might look fancy, but they are basically a grown-up version of those vodka-soaked gummy bears you were tossing back at that house party in college.
