Sno-Cones

Sno-cones made at home. Need I say more? This is the official hot day snack of the summer around here......

All you need is a frozen bag of fruit. Toss it in the blender/processor with a few drops of boiling water-puree.

Top onto crushed ice..... enjoy.

Busy Making Popsicles

Don't you make popsicles on the stove... with a kettle and whisk What, you don't?

Have a great day!

Grilled Cheese Sandwiches

This week the Husband has been away cycling through the Copper Canyon in Mexico. The Copper Canyon is located in the North West of Mexico and is said to be much larger than its friend the Grand Canyon in Arizona.

Thanks to technology, he has been in touch and although we miss him terribly we are quite excited to hear the stories and see the pictures from such an epic journey.

If he did not have the camera with him-I would have more to share about the goings ons here. Most notably, the painting of our house which now is a delicious red. The man that arrived to do the painting broke into loud and cheerful laughter when I showed him the swatch of color.

Must say, I was a bit nervous about it all. The exterior was so dreadfully boring prior to this week. So look forward to photos of the red house.

Meanwhile, the daughter schooled me in the proper and best manner in which to prepare a grilled cheese sandwich.

First, butter the slices.

Second, grill the bread slice butter side down with orange cheese on top. Once cheese melts, add top sandwich (also buttered) and flip in pan. The result is a terrific gooey grilled cheese sandwich. (I always jipped myself of the lavish butter ritual and now I know, tis' the secret).

Grilled cheese sandwich goes great with tomato and or avocado and of course potato chips....

Lunch for the Kids

The daughter put this fabulous lunch together for some of her mates that were coming over:

• Cream Cheese and Jam Sandwiches
• Popcorn
• Orange Slices
• and of course, Homemade Popsicles

Amazon has an impressive set of popsicle molds... two of my personal favorites:

Additional styles including ice cream sandwich molds are for sale HERE

Eat a Color

We are moving house at the moment-excuse my hiccup in posting while I get it all sorted... In the meantime, we are enjoying convenient foods (and they appear to be color coordinated...)

Fruit Kabob

One morning I asked the daughter, "Would you like to make a fruit kabob for yourself? You can have it for breakfast along with your pancake." She responded, "Why yes."

Fruit kabobs allow creativity and freedom in food preferences.

Fruit kabobs are not only fun to make but also fun to eat...

For everyone.
