So Sneaky!

We had (have) so many strawberries from our recent trip to pick them that i have had to come up with creative ways to eat them! I made waffles the other night & decided it would be yummy to puree strawberries to pour over the top instead of syrup. Sounds yummy, right? Not! It was too tart & it really needed syrup with it & i guess that makes sense since when i eat fruit on top of waffles i do usually have syrup too. Jackson refused to eat it (he doesn't like veering from the norm) & Eli tried it & made an awful face before spitting it back out (this was after the tantrum that made him leave the table when he saw me pour "red" syrup on top of his waffle- apparently he doesn't like veering from the norm either!) So- i thought things over & decided that i was NOT trashing the strawberry puree- i just couldn't! So i improvised & turned it into frozen popsicles! Now, THESE were a hit! Isn't it interesting how the same exact thing can look so different (& so much better) under a different circumstance? It's a lot like life, huh?

They have become such a hit, that i made a second batch the next day just so we would have a good lot of them in the freezer for the next several weeks. I have to say, it brought back lots of memories of making baby food cubes! They are baby food cubes with a stick! And i feel good about giving my kids these popscicles since they are 100% fruit & they think it is "ice cream!" Anyone for a serving of fruit??
