Yikes!! I have been so terribly negligent of this blog!
I'm becoming one of those people whose posts read as above.
I think it was the change of direction I tried to take.
I got stuck.
So maybe I should just return to where I was...at least for now...
How about a recipe for some delicious popsicles to help cool you down on these hot summer days?
Of course with real food only.
Fruit Bar Popsicles
orange juice
banana
frozen strawberries
frozen mangos
frozen pineapple
frozen blueberries
I have to admit that I don't have exact measurements for this. It's not like baking a cake where everything has to be just right. With this you can add a little of this or more of that or less juice or more depending on how thick you want it.
I put about 1 and 1/2 cups of juice in the blender and then 1/2 banana and a small handful of everything else. Give it a good whirl until it's mixed well. At this point you can pour it in a cup and enjoy a great all fruit, dairy free smoothie, which we do quite often. Or you can pour it into popsicle molds, or small paper cups with a popsicle stick stuck in the middle. Freeze until firm and then enjoy. By the way, it helps to run warm water over the molds when trying to release them.
Goodness but it sure feels good to be back with you all!!
And that is this gal's view for today.

Fabulous Friday
It's Friday! Time for another tip.
Do you dread looking into your crisper drawer in the fridge?
I know I do.
I hate to see those various bags of limp, wilted greens that I have to throw away. With the rising price of groceries today it is literally painful.
Well here's a tip that will keep those veggies looking fresher longer.
Wash your produce when you get home from the store. Dry it as well as you can and put it in a zip lock bag. Then take a paper towel, folded in quarters and place in the back. Or if you are, say putting grapes in a serving bowl, place the quartered paper towel under the grapes in the bowl.
This will keep your fruit and veggies dry. And they will lost longer since it is moisture that causes them to wilt and even mold.
It's also a good idea to line the crisper drawer with a double layer of paper towels. The dryer you can keep things the better.
