ahhh so cute! i love it when kids get into the kitchen too! these popsicles look sooo good!
ReplyDeleteThanks Junia - they taste amazing! The combination of blueberry & mint is strangely good.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the award! These look really creamy and tasty.
ReplyDeleteYummy! Perfect timing, too, it's HOT here in Cali. I'm in desperate need of frozen desserts! :)
ReplyDeleteHi Kelly! Thanks for your last comment, it's so nice to hear someone appreciates my blog! As for the wholemeal flour in the muffins, I think it's wheat flour, but I sometimes use spelt flour and I reckon that would taste just as good if not better. I'd never thought of putting blueberry and mint together but am tempted now - mint goes well with practically everything!
ReplyDeleteAh very perceptive of him! You've got a chef in the makings. I will definitely try his recipe.
ReplyDeleteWhy is frozen yoghurt SO GOOD?! I'm not really sure but it's easily on a par with regular ice-cream. I don't have any popsicle forms, but as soon as my freezer is more empty after this weekend (got a lot of stocks in for a small party) I might have to source some blueberries of my own and whip up a batch in a tub!
ReplyDeleteOh children. Sometimes they say the darndest things...and sometimes they have really good ideas. These look fantastic!
ReplyDeleteHee-Hee... Agreed. They certainly keep me on my toes!!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to try these today. We picked up a new crazy blender yesterday!
ReplyDelete@Shauna
ReplyDeleteYeah! Enjoy your new blender. Thanks for dropping in Shauna!
I love that your little guy came up with this idea on his own. I'm with him...a little ice cream makes these darn near perfect! Congrats on your award! Well-deserved. :)
ReplyDeleteAww, thank you Kelly for the kind words and love how you described my food blog! It's so nice to pay tribute to other blogs. I appreciate all of your creative, nourishing recipes!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to try your son's blueberry mint popsicle recipe. I never tried mint with blueberries, I've used in in other fruits but not bluerries. Sounds like your son is a foodie at heart! :) Oh, great photo too!
A very cute idea to assemble these with children..... I'm sure it was great fun and the popsicles look healthy and have a brilliant color!
ReplyDelete@Lisa {smart food and fit}
ReplyDeleteYou deserve every word Lisa! I love your blog and your thoughtful approach to life - I would have NEVER thought of combining blueberry and mint but I have to admit it is one of the best combinations I've ever had! Watch out, my son may soon be taking over my blog!! :)
@kristy
ReplyDeleteThanks Kristy! Kids have a way of keeping it real. LOL.
They look yummy. I tried aswell to do some strawberry ones at home
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the award! The popsicles look and sound amazing. Love the blueberries. What a great job your son did :)
ReplyDeleteI love that kids really don't censor themselves. Sometimes funny, sometimes, ouch. The popsicles look very good, so maybe he's on to something.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on winning the Versatile Blogger Award! How cute, that your youngest intuitively knew what would make these popsicles better!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the award! I bookmarked this recipe. These Popsicles look sooo delicious that I have to give it a try! I'm so weak when it comes to blueberries.... yum!
ReplyDeleteThis recipe sounds and looks awesome- I love the color & flavors- surely trying this out!!
