Lazy Afternoon GF Summer Fruity Ice Pops

**Found in July 2012 Glamour Magazine

Meet Neesa Peterson of NYC's Imperial Woddpecker and NYC food stylist Susan Sugarman and Kirsten Schimoler, who develops flavors for Ben and Jerry's in Vermont.  "You can have dessert and stay in shape for bathing suit season!" says Schimoler.  It's all in moderation".  We have a feeling you are going to LOVE these perfectly portioned treats.

Makes 10 each 



Lemon and Thyme Ice Pops

In a saucepan, combine 1 cup sugar, 3/4 cup water and 1- springs thyme.  Place over medium-high heat, and bring to a boil until sugar is dissolved, 3-5 minutes.  Remove from heat, and let steep for about 45 minutes.  Strain the sugar syrup and discard thyme.  Add 2 1/4 cups lemon juice (from about 20 lemons).
For all pops: soar wooden sticks before starting (1 hour).  Pour mixture into molds, add stick, and freeze 4-5 hours overnight.

Watermelon and Ginger Ice Pops

In a saucepan, combine 2/3 cup sugar, 2/3 cup water, and a 4-inch piece of ginger, peeled and thinly sliced.  Boil mixture until sugar dissolves; remove from heat, and let steep for about 45 minutes.  Strain, and discard ginger.  In a blender, puree the fruit from a 4 pound seedless watermelon.  Pour into a fine strainer set over a large bowl, and press out liquid, discarding the flesh.  Stir in the sugar syrup.  Pour into molds and freeze.

Blueberries and Cream Ice Pops (not vegan-vegetarian)

In a saucepan, combine 1 pound blueberries, 3/4 cup sugar, and 3/4 cup water.  Place over medium-high heat.  Cook mixture until sugar is dissolved and blueberries are soft, about 10 minutes.  Let cool; then pour into a fine strainer set over a large bowl, and press out liquid, discarding the flesh.  Stir in 1/2 cup heavy cream.  Pour into molds, and freeze.


Enjoy!! xoxo Julie

Not All Advil Is Gluten-Free!!!

After last night's POST , GF Advil was on my mind and I decided to call Advil/Pfizer this morning to get some more clarification.  In response to my post last night I advised through the website that Advil Liqui-gels, Advil Migraine and Advil Liqui-Gels PM contain a wheat derivative.  After my phone call with a lovely representative I received more information. - ALL ADVIL LIQUI-GELS contain a wheat derivative .   ALL LIQUI-GELS.  So stop these immediately if you are taking the Liqui-gels.  You maybe getting sick from a medication rather then a food and this is so important to recognize!  Just steer clear of Liqui-Gels. -ALL FORMS OF ADVIL MIGRAINE contain gluten .  There is no further information if it is just the Liqui-Gels or the Tablets, Caplets and Gel-Caps.  Pfizer does not have this info therefore they informed me to steer clear of all Advil Migraine pills. Here is what IS GLUTEN-FREE FROM ADVIL: All Advil Tablets, Gel-Caps ( which are different then Li

Hot Chocolate Coffee

Sometimes I feel like there are days only chocolate would understand.  And following a strict Paleo diet does not allot for chocolate eating.  Especially chocolate with added dried cane sugar.  And especially in abundance.  Of course special occasions allot for this type of activity, but today is not that day. So how do you put a sock in your chocolate craving?  Well, simply remove your sock from your foot and put it in your chocolate.  I'm kidding!  Please use a clean sock! Kidding again!!… Often, chocolate cravings can get the best of us, so I created a delicious recipe to kick my craving and your craving.  It's delicious.  And it's perfect for the lover of coffee and chocolate.  Taking a sip of this sent signals of pure decadence to my brain. A lot of my readers often describe how tough it is to drink black coffee without sweetener, so this one is for you guys!!   This recipe is a total Brain Trick.  It tastes sweet and chocolaty, so you think there is swee

Magnolia Bakery-Cream Cheese Frosting

Another amazing frosting recipe from Magnolia!  I swear by these recipes, this is my go-to book for icing when I bake!! 1 pound (two 8-ounce packages) cream cheese, softened and cut into small pieces 6 tbsp. unsalted butter, softened and cut into small pieces 1 1/2 tsp. pure vanilla extract 5 cups sifted confectioners' sugar In a large bowl, on the medium speed of an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese and butter until smooth, about 3 minutes.  Add the vanilla and beat well.  Gradually add the sugar, 1 cup at a time, beating continuously until smooth and creamy.  Cover and refrigerate icing for 2-3 hours, but no longer, to thicken before using. Makes enough for one 2-or 3-layer 9-inch cake Enjoy! xoxo Julie www.goodiegoodiegluten-free.blogspot.com
