Strawberry Lemonade Popsicles

Image
First recipe to be released from my strawberry picking adventures - Strawberry Lemonade Popsicles. I tried to make the ingredients as simple as possible, so the ingredients are just strawberries, lemon juice, and water. Because they have water, they freeze more as an flavored ice instead of a true popsicle. I do not add sugar which makes them fairly sour, so feel free to add 1/2 cup of sugar if you want them a little bit sweeter. These are great warm weather snacks or desserts, and can be modified in a lot of ways depending on the fruit combination that you want to use. I plan to make more variations including some yogurt and cream versions.  Please like, share, and follow for more content. And please let me know how you like this recipe.

Day 546... Southern Belle Farm

Last weekend I visited Southern Belle Farms to go strawberry picking. It's about a 1 hour drive south from my place in Atlanta. You pay by the gallon before entering the farm. It is a little pricey, but once you get the bucket, you can put as many strawberries that you find in it. In terms of dollars for strawberries, a store bought package is probably cheaper, but this was definitely a fun experience. I went up and down a few aisles looking for the best strawberries.  After I had my bucket filled, I visited the store which had some ciders, strawberry goods, and some strawberry themed gifts. I decided against buying anything, but I think the strawberry cider would have been a good purchase.  Now that I have all of these strawberries, you might ask what I'm going to do with them? Well I spent the whole afternoon turning this gallon of strawberries into popcicle, sorbets, puree, and froze some for smoothies. Now that the weather is getting warmer, be on th

Vegan Chickpea-Ball Sub

Need a vegan version of the Subway Meatball Sub? I've got you covered with this Vegan Chickpea Ball sub with marinara sauce and vegan parm. These "meatballs" are made from basically 100% chickpeas because it contains canned chickpeas and Banza rice (made from chickpeas). Banza rice cooks faster than normal rice, and I enjoy the extra nutritional value. These can be made with other kinds of rice as well, but you'll want to cook the rice before starting this recipe.  This recipe can make 4 large sandwiches or 8 half ones. I serve the meatballs with heated marinara sauce, toasted bread, and a little bit of my vegan parmesan .   Please like, share, and follow for more content! And let me know how you like this recipe!
