20120903-160310.jpg Today's goals: Make Popsicles before lunch so they will be ready to eat for tonight's dessert.

Tonight's menu: Panzanella Salad, White Wine, Berry Banana Buttermilk Popsicles

I used to make Popsicles quite frequently, experimenting with more exotic flavor combinations like basil infused strawberry or chili spiced chocolate. David and I used to enjoy them after dinner, sitting on our small Atlanta patio, drink in one hand, Popsicle in the other. Once Jack came along, for some odd reason my Popsicle making came to a halt...I'm uncertain why that is. But, after seeing him enjoy our recent homemade Popsicles, you can be sure they will be a staple in our freezer! How can I resist that face?! I'm already thinking of some Fall Inspired flavors that will make a nice little frozen post-nap or after dinner treat and, I will be sure to share them here with you.
