Summer Sweets: Popsicles!

Oh summer. You pretty, lush, bright, hot, steamy, sweaty season. You’re so great for so many things, like swimming and cookouts and lightning bugs and extra daylight. You’re also lovely in that you allow us to eat simple, cool, and refreshing foods for every meal. (Am I the only one who sometimes eats cereal for dinner because it’s just too dang hot to think about anything else?)

Enter: popsicles. Quite possibly the epitome of cool, delightful, appropriate-any-time-of-day treats.

I went on a hunt for delicious and innovative popsicle recipes and discovered the creations listed below. Thanks to the talented folks who whipped up these beauties! I’ve personally experimented with the Key Lime Pie Pops over the 4th of July and the Coconut Cream Popsicles last weekend. Both completely rocked my world, and both were eaten more than once as dinner. Amazing.

    Mmmmmm ! It’s 98° here and popsicles for dinner–especially those with lime–may be just the ticket! Thanks for the inspiration.
