Having my grandsons around for the week means that they are always looking for something
sweet to eat. Let's face it, no matter how hard you try, they are going to sneak in some
unhealthy snacks. Aidan is "addicted" to chocolate. He's 2 and he pronounces every syllable as Cho-co-lat...who knew he was practicing French!! But he is a good eater and likes everything. Carter, the 6 year old, on the other hand thinks Italian toast with butter is a food group. His protein to date has consisted of eggs, cheese and peanut butter...and protein shakes. We finally got him to try hot dogs over the weekend and he now likes those. Better than nothing. What they
both agree on is berries and popsicles. Ellie Krieger has a recipe for a blueberry punch so I thought I would
make it and freeze some
as pops for the boys.
What a hit! These are so much
better than the sugar and water
pop ice
that they want. And these are fun because they helped me make them. Here is Ellie's recipe for the punch. It is
refreshing just as it is or do what I did.....
pour into a popsicle maker and dole out the fun a few hours later.
Blueberry PunchDissolve 2 Tbsp of honey in 1/4 cup boiling water.
Puree 1 cup thawed frozen blueberries and 1/2 cup cold water in a blender.
Pour the blueberry puree through a fine-mesh strainer into a pitcher.
Add up to 3-1/2 cups cold water and the dissolved honey to the pitcher and serve.
