Strawberry Pudding Popsicles

________________________________________

We make a lot of popsicles at home, the kids absolutely love them, especially for after school treats, and over the long summer vacation after they've spent the day swimming in the pool.

These mini strawberry pudding popsicles are delicious and make a perfect treat, especially for a little boy who was home sick from school today.

A Pasta Bar

We love pasta in our house.  Ask Marisol what she would like for dinner any day of the week and she would tell you pasta, her favorite being Penne.  The hardest thing I find with serving pasta for dinner is taking out certain ingredients from dishes to suit each person.

I'm also a huge fan of getting the kids involved in the kitchen.  We normally have one night a week where it's a 'make your own' night.  Whether it be putting your own toppings on pizza, or making tacos or burritos.  So last night I decided to set up a pasta bar in the kitchen and let everyone choose their pasta, their toppings and their sauce.  Everyone loved it.  For the first time there was no-one picking out what they didn't want to eat, no-one complaining about the type of pasta I used and everyone ate all of their dinner.
