popsicles

when i was a kid, finding a box of popsicles was such a treat.  usually, it meant that we got good grades in school, or played rather exceptional tennis for the month.

now, i am free to buy popsicles whenever i should choose.  but i usually don't because boxed popsicles are not really as healthy as they purport themselves to be.  many are filled with high fructose corn syrup which essentially means they are chock full of sugar.

so i figured i would make my own, and went about looking for cute popsicle molds.  i mean, everything is an excuse to shop for something cute!  i picked this up (i love the swirly shape, and the smaller size will fit nicely in my tiny kitchen), and am way excited to try any of these recipes.
