Strawberry Banana Popsicles

We actually made these strawberry banana popsicles last week, but I am behind on blogging. Has been a crazy couple of weeks. Aaron accepted a new job, I started back up at work, Maura turned 3 months old and Danny started potty training. The popsicles turned out really well for our first try with the Zoku. Loved the look on Danny's face as we were waiting for the popcicles to freeze.

Put Maura in her bouncy chair before we started and Danny thought she needed some toys.

52 Weeks of Frozen Treats

During my pregnancy with Maura, I was craving all things frozen and sweet (ice cream, milkshakes, popsicles, etc.). So what do I get for Christmas presents, a Zoku popsicle maker and a ice cream attachment for the Kitchenaid. In order to put these presents to good use, I'm going to try to make something new every week. It's also a good excuse to post pictures of the kids.

For the first week, we made Chocolate Chip Ice Cream using Ben and Jerry's standard base and adding mini chocolate chips. Added a little too much to the ice cream maker, but tasted great.

Enjoying the 60 degree weather in January. What?!?
