It’s not jacket weather anymore.
Quick! Can anyone name that movie quote??
No, it’s definitely not jacket weather anymore; at least not here in Texas. I brought out the popsicle maker last week and we’ve been having lots of fun creating different flavors, such as mint-chocolate-chip and blueberries-n-cream popsicles. So if you happen to see an overwhelming number of popsicle recipes on my blog this summer, please accept my apologies in advance.
In the meantime, here are 10 healthy recipes perfect for “non-jacket” weather. (By the way, the quote is from The Wedding Singer. It’s one of my all-time favorite movies!)
Question of the Day:
Does it feel like summer yet where you are?
I know summer doesn’t technically start until June 20th. But when the temperatures are already in the 90s, and kids are getting out of school, it’s pretty easy to say summer has arrived. I hung my jacket up long ago.
It feels like 1000 degrees where I am but thus that is the humidity for you. That frozen hot chocolate would really hit the spot, I actually have hot chocolate in upstate NY everyday until I move back down south for the summer. It could be 70 degrees, hot chocolate is a must a night.
Omigosh – the nutella fudge pops look delicious! & it definitely feels like summer here! The hydrants are open and all 🙂
hahaha I saw that quote and all I could think of was my favourite all-time movie, Miss Congeniality.
“What is your perfect date?”
“I’d have to say…April 25th. It’s not too hot or too cold; all you need is a light jacket!”
ahhh I really need an ice cream maker! or a vitamix… (fingers crossed!)
Have you tried the freezing the mix and then processing option? I have had some great success with it. I usually microwave or thaw the block a tiny bit before processing.
I did have an unfortunate explosion with a frozen banana in the food processor however and I now know to give it a small amount of thaw time or it will knock the processor off its base and send all the contents of the concoction into the air only to land in the open peanut butter. This disaster contaminated a huge tub of Adams (which is fine for me, but not for all my public baking projects).

Ice cream is the best summer treat! I love all your cool desserts. I still need to try those nutella popsicles! It’s feeling like summer where I am right now and I am loving evey minute of it!!
Yum….i’m definitely going to be trying out some ice pop type things this summer. It has felt like summer here in England recently…but not so much this weekend as it’s forecast to rain for the Queens jubilee…rubbish!!
It felt like summer for a week then we got a storm with golf ball size hail and wind gusts up to 70 mpg. Now it’s in the low 50’s and feels like fall! I just wanna use my new swimsuit and take my baby to the pool for the first time, dang it!
oh i want that shamrock shake! I also have been going popsicle crazy
Wedding Singer! Hehe such a good movie. Great recipes as always, Katie – thank you!
It felt like summer last weekend in Northern Illinois but now it is in the 60s and my heater has kicked on. Thank you for the summer treat ideas!
