Limeberrymelon-Pops!

Hello there!!

Living in San Diego, or even just California, it gets pretty hot around this time of year! I have been craving cold sweets like crazy so I have been in my kitchen creating ways to enjoy these treats without feeling super guilty about what I am putting into my body. So yesterday the Limeberrymelon-Pop was born!! I do have to say these are very tasty! I named them these because it sounds a bajillion times cooler then Strawberry Lime Watermelon Popsicles, haha (: I hope you will love these on a hot day, or any day as a matter of fact because they are THAT good! xxxCourt

Waistline Friendly Strawberry Vanilla Parfait!


So Yummy & Healthy!!
Good Evening All! 

Tonight I was having a craving after I saw a picture on Pinterest (am I the only one who pronounces it Pin-ER-est? haha, I spend way to much time on there) any who I was inspired to create a waistline friendly version of a parfait! There are many different combinations that can be put together but this is what we had and I do have to say its pretty damn delicious and now I am going to snuggle up with my honey on the couch and watch Hawaii Five-O! Hope you all enjoy this as much as I do and head to my "PinERest" and follow me if you have one! haha (; (C_Sjoberg) xxxCourt P.S. I just discovered Agave Nectar - one word HEAVENLY!!
