The Invisible Apron

Posted on by

These Invisible Aprons are such a clever idea! I have quite a few aprons, but none of them keep my clothes dry! So these are great to wear while doing dishes or even giving the dog a bath!

They’re made of clear vinyl, so you get the added benefit of your apron not clashing with your outfit!! They come in all sorts of styles – even for men and kids! And I can attest that they make great gifts because that’s how I got mine!

“Popeye Pops”

Posted on by

Okay, so I found this suggestion on the Internet for hiding SPINACH in popsicles….but I made up the name myself, I swear 🙂 You can adjust this recipe with any fruits and juices you like, and the spinach is totally optional, too!

This recipe comes out to about 1/4 cup spinach in each popsicle and you can’t even taste it at ALL!!!!!

I had to tell a “white lie” to the kids the first time I made these…..I said they were green from food coloring. (Well, actually the kids assumed that so I just didn’t correct them…but lies of omission are still guilt-inducing… so after they ate half of their pops and liked them, I broke it to them that it was spinach. And then we changed the name to “Popeye Pops,” which I don’t recommend unless your kids are cool with the idea of having spinach for dessert 🙂

INGREDIENTS:
-2 cups of fresh spinach, packed tightly
-1 medium pineapple, cut into chunks
-3 medium ripe bananas
-1/2 cup orange juice (preferably freshly squeezed)….or you can just use water, and maybe add some raw honey at the end if you don’t think it’s sweet enough.

DIRECTIONS:
Blend pineapple, bananas and juice (or water) in blender until smooth. Add half of the spinach and blend until smooth. This works best if you “plunge” the spinach down into the mixture with a spoon before blending. Add the rest of the spinach (and plunge down) and blend until smooth.

Pour into popsicle molds and freeze. Drink any leftover “batter” as a smoothie 🙂

Freeze at least 4 hours or until frozen solid.

*If you taste the mixture before freezing it, please realize that it won’t taste nearly as sweet as it will once it’s all the way frozen.

*I called these “Monster Pops” because, well, they’re green…and also to play up that fact as something that was “cool” before the kids had a chance to decide it was “gross.” 🙂
