blue in the face

Blueberry Pops, Martha Stewart Style

Today has been an all day rain fest so we are snug inside the kitchen. Seth's first request: more Popsicles please! Today we tried Blueberry Pops thanks to Martha Stewart. They are still freezing but if the taste of the blue goo we poured into our popsicle makers was any indication; they will be amazing.

The important step in this recipe is getting the "blue goo" for the Popsicle and leaving the skins and yuck behind. We used a sieve as Martha suggested. (I also used this method making homemade baby food with Seth and will be doing it again soon with Eli.)

This is how the finished product looked thanks to my handsome demonstrator!

Seth was a riot with the blueberries, considered by him to be a special treat. We have a huge bag a frozen blueberries that we use for the recipes. Thus I knew I had extra out on the counter for snacking but lo and behold the kid downed a pint of them while we were baking today! I think we can expect blue coming through, if you know what I mean...

The Blueberry Bandit!

The blue dude strikes again looking more like a dinosaur this time...

This photo was Seth's idea - I can't agree more. I love time with my big boy!
