Cranberry Lemonade Popsicle’s / Weekly Recap

June 1, 2013 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 15 Comments

Hi Everyone,

Happy Saturday to you!!!  So happy the weekend is here.  I plan on doing a little shopping, since I am in desperate need for shorts and t-shirts.  I think I own one pair of shorts that actually fit.  I have to admit the ones I have are getting a little tight around the hips, but I’m trying hard to get them to fit again.  Darn winter comfort food!!!  Anyways, since it’s suppose to be blazing hot here, I have a simple recipe that is kind of embarrassing to share.  🙂   I know just about everybody has made these before, but I posting them for you because hey, you never know!

Cranberry Lemonade Popsicle's

These are my Cranberry Lemonade Popsicle’s.  I was trying out the new Cran-Lemonade Drink from Ocean Spray and my first thought was refreshing!  Then I thought, I think they stole my idea!   Tsk, tsk…  lol!  But seriously, this is a great drink, it’s only 5 calories for 8 oz, I could drink it all summer and it’s guilt-free and I won’t have to make my own!  It has the perfect balance of sweetness and tang without being overwhelming.  I think this one is a keeper!!  As you know from some past posts, like Pretty in Pink Smoothie, Diet Mixed Berry Smoothie and Christmas Cranberry Smoothie, that  I do love my Ocean Spray Cranberry drinks.  I decided that this drink would be perfect turned into a popsicle.  After all nothing is more refreshing than lemon, when it’s near 100 degrees outside.

Cranberry Lemonade Popsicles


I actually got the idea to make these popsicle’s when I was cleaning out my cupboards, and I found my popsicle mold.  The sticks were kind of cracked from people trying to pull the popsicle out of the mold, so I came up with these handy-dandy cute little sticks.  I used paper straws!  I cut my straws down so they would fit in the freezer and so they wouldn’t bend when people were holding their lemony treat.  I used raspberries to hold them in place.  Worked like a charm!!  I get asked all of the time where do you get your straws and I get them everywhere.  Target now sells them in the party section, Cost Plus World Market has them right now and even my local grocery store sells them, but they are super expensive there.  They want like $7.00 for 20 straws.  Even though they are cute, I’m not paying that much for paper straws.

Cranberry Lemonade Popsicles

One key-note I must warn you about, don’t pull the straws out of the mold.  I ran the mold under warm water until the popsicle released, then gently pulled on the straw.  As you can see from the pictures, they came out great and hold up pretty well.  I think the straws are so cute and you can use different color straws for whatever color popsicle you were making.

A light, healthy frozen treat made with Cranberry Lemonade and raspberries.
Serves: 6 - 4 oz servings
Ingredients
  • 2 cups Diet Cran-Lemonade (I used Ocean Spray)
  • 24 raspberries, fresh
  • 6 Popsicle mold container, 4 oz each mold
  • 6 straws
Instructions
  1. In each popsicle mold, place 3 raspberries, then pour lemonade over top of raspberries. Place straw or stick into the center of each mold. I used the raspberries to hold the straw in place. Carefully place popsicle mold in the freezer for about 6 to 8 hours or until harden.
  2. When ready to serve, carefully un-mold popsicles from the mold. You will have to run under the mold warm water for the popsicle to release. Just don't pull on the straw. The popsicle will release and then you can pull from the straw.
  3. Serve an enjoy!

I have something so funny to share with you.  My friend was at the gym and they had an infomercial on the tv for Eggs on a Stick.  Yes, eggs on a stick.  We of course googled it and it is disgusting, yet I want one.  Not to eat, but to flick at someone.  Yes, flick a person.  You can yell at someone, get made and flick an egg on a stick at them.  You can take it in your car and if someone cuts you off and you can flick an egg on a stick at them.  Then they would say “gross, they flicked an egg on a stick at me”.  I have the site here, with the commercial.  You have to see it.  It’s so gross, yet funny.  I sent the link to my Husband at his work and he said, please don’t tell me you got one to giveaway on your blog.   he he, I said no.  He told me the commercial made him a little sick, especially when the girl went to eat the egg on the stick.  You have to see the commercial.   Who thinks of this stuff?

On other news, I don’t know if you noticed but my recipe page has changed.  I had Erin from Wooden Spoons Kitchen change my page for me to make it more navigational. I love it!!!  I am still working on putting the pictures on the recipes.  My goal is to have it done by the end of June.  It’s a lot of work and I mean a lot of work.  I wish I knew this, when I started blogging a year and a half ago.  It’s a lot of posts to format, but I’m slowly getting there!  Take a look around and let me know what you think.  Big thanks to Erin for doing this for me!!!  I LOVE IT!!!!

Here is this weeks weekly recap:

Sunday:   Mediterranean Pasta Salad –  I haven’t had pasta salad in so long and I was really happy to have this salad for a few days.  It has even more flavor on days two and three.  It’s a great little salad and I love the mini ravioli’s I used in it!  This recipe is perfect for summer picnics!!

Meditteranean Pasta Salad

Monday:  Berry Oatmeal Breakfast Smoothie:  If you like thick smoothies and love to have them for breakfast, this is the smoothie for you!  It’s so filling and so delish.  You can make it the night before and blend it in the morning.  It’s chock full of protein and nutrition.  I simply love it and have been having them this past week for breakfast.  Gets me through to lunch without snacking!

Berry Oatmeal Breakfast Smoothie

Tuesday:  Peanut Butter Cheesecake Dip – I can’t say anything except it is sooooooo good!  It’s perfect for dipping fruit in it and as one of my readers mention, it would also be good dipping graham crackers in.  If you like peanut butter cheesecake without all of the calories, than this is the dip for you!!

Peanut Butter Cheesecake Dip

Wednesday:  Grilled Tri Tip with Roasted Peppers and Onions – This is one of my favorite kind of meals!  A flavorful, low-calorie tri tip served with my favorite vegetables.  Of course since I am a sandwich freak, I turned it in the most fabulous sandwich!  I love these kind of meals.

Grilled Tri Tip Roast with roasted Peppers and Onions

Thursday:  Garlicky Feta White Bean Dip – I love this dip.  When you want savory this is the dip for you.  I used it this past week for dipping my carrots and pita bread into.  It has so much flavor and is completely guilt-free.  It doesn’t contain any oil!

Garlicky Feta White Bean Hummus

Friday:  S’more Frappe – I think this week I have been craving chocolate and this certainly satisfied my cravings.  I love to do up my coffee drinks and this is a fun one.  Topped with fluff, chocolate and snickerdoodle cookies.  Yes please!  If you crave a sweet treat, than this is the drink for you!  I have been having them for dessert, with decaf coffee!  Yum!

S'more Frappe

Well my Friends, next week I am going a way for a few days, so I will be making my posts short, since I need to make them in advance.  I also need to start cooking.  Oh and speaking of cooking, you may just get a lot of no bake recipes.  It’s suppose to be in the 100’s and one thing I don’t like to do when it’s that hot is turn the stove on.  So it’s either no bake or grilling, but even grilling, it’s to hot to stand outside.  Ugh!!!  I wonder what it will be like at the beach?

Have  a great weekend!

Toodles,

Jennifer

P.S.  This weeks craving is Cherry Chocolate Chip Frozen Yogurt.

Cherry Chocolate Chip Frozen Yogurt

 

I was contacted by Ocean Spray to ask if I wanted to try their new Cran-Lemonade.  All the opinions I share are my own and I was given product to try out.

Happy Monday! I’m sharing with you a rare view o Happy Monday! I’m sharing with you a rare view of my kitchen. What’s so rare about it! It’s clean. 🤣 
.
So this weekend our refrigerator broke. The freezer no longer works and the fridge is not getting cool enough. Ugh!! We bought our Whirlpool refrigerator about 4 years ago and spent near $3000 for it. It sure didn’t last long. 
.
After reading reviews on a million refrigerators, they all seem like crap. I need your help! Do you have a refrigerator that you recommend? 
.
I saw a Frigidaire one that we are debating on, but not sure? The reviews are good, but says, they were collected from a promotion. So I’m not sure how much I trust that? Anyway, any recommendations that you have would be great! 
.
Have a great day!

I have been decorating the house for Easter and Spring. I love how this little space turned out. I am loving the bright pastels. I added my new bunny/chick pillow that I got from @12timbers. It matches so perfectly and it’s so cute. I also couldn’t resist the chick pillow from Target.

Have the best day!

Hi Everyone! I hope you had a great weekend. I mus Hi Everyone! I hope you had a great weekend. I must say I was disappointed in the Super Bowl. I really wanted the 49ers to win. Anyway, this weekend I refreshed my guest bathroom.
🐰
I have to say my new favorite item is the towel holder. It’s so cute and practical. I don’t have a hand towel rack and I hated leaving my towels on my counter. I saw the towel holder from Target and had to get it. It’s the Hearth and Hand brand.
🐰
I added some bunnies for Spring and a touch of pink for some color. The hand towels are from Homegoods. They have so many bunnies and Easter decor. I had to control myself because I was with my husband. I may go back. 
🐰
Have a great day!!

Happy Monday!! I have to confess to you. I still h Happy Monday!! I have to confess to you. I still have Christmas in my kitchen.😳 I don’t know where to put it, so I haven’t taken it down. It’s not a lot, but just enough to where I can’t fit it. Ugh!  Please tell me I’m not the only one. 
💕
I did do one little spot for Valentines, which I think is so cute. I love decorating with Valentines candy. I can’t resist the pinks and the conversation hearts. I do not plan on going all out decorating this season, as time is going so fast, but I may add some hearts here and there. 
💕
Do you decorate for Valentine’s Day?

Hi Everyone! With spring around the corner, now is Hi Everyone! With spring around the corner, now is the time to get your chores done, so when the warmer weather arrives you can enjoy it. My goal is to refresh my bedroom. I am slowly getting rid of stuff that I no longer need and slowly adding new decor. So hopefully in a few weeks it will be done. #twopageshome
♥️
The first thing I added are these stunning customized curtains that I was gifted from @twopagescurtains. Guys, I’m in love! The curtains are just so pretty! I am loving the way it shades the sun, but still lets the light in. Exactly the look I was going for.
♥️
The curtains I chose are the “Liz Linen Drape Soft”. They are a linen curtain that is environmentally friendly, hypoallergenic, long lasting, dust preventative, and breathable. They are also wrinkle free. I didn’t have to steam them. They came right out of the package ready to hang. They also come in 38 colors and 7 shadings to choose from. There is an option for everyone.
♥️
I’ll be honest I was intimidated on ordering custom curtains. I was so afraid I would order them wrong, but I didn’t. Two Pages has a measurement finder that asks you a few easy questions and boom you have your custom curtain size. It was so simple.
♥️
If you are looking for some new curtains or shades for your home, I highly recommend Two Page Curtains. I absolutely love them. They were kind enough to give my followers an 8% discount code: PBANDP. Link in bio
♥️
Are you planning on refreshing any spaces?

Happy Friday! Hope you had a wonderful holiday sea Happy Friday! Hope you had a wonderful holiday season. I am slowly working on taking my Christmas decor down. I still have my tree up, but I love the twinkling lights, and the real reason is I need my husband to get the box out of the garage. lol 
💙
I am going with blues in the living room. I just find blue calming and peaceful. The first area I styled is the coffee table. Sorry about the views. I have a small, thin living room.
💙
I decided to go light on the decor and add some fresh faux greenery. I hate leaving the remote controls out, so I decided to store them in a decorative box. Everything here, but the white box was bought at Target. 
💙
Have a wonderful weekend!

Hi Everyone! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas. I Hi Everyone! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas. It was low key for us, as it was just my husband and I. We had dinner at my daughters house on Christmas Eve. That was nice. 
🎄
I am sharing my last view of my living room before I take down my Christmas decor. I will leave some of the winter type greens, but I think I’m going to add some blues. I have always liked blue after the holidays. It just gives the room a light and clean look.
🎄
I want to say sorry for lack of posting. It’s just so time consuming engaging. I hate spending countless hours on my phone. It has made me physically lazy and it hurts my eyes. I have put on so much weight because all I do is sit. I really need to change this habit. Anyway! I hope you have a wonderful day!!!
