Make Your Own Yogurt Popsicles!

Is this hot weather making you stare into your freezer wishing for some delicious, refreshing popsicles? Why don't you make your own!

All you need are some small yogurts and wooden popsicle sticks, which are very cheap. Here’s how:

1) Simply make a small cut in the lid of the yogurt container and insert the wooden stick.

2) Throw it in your freezer for a few hours (do it overnight!).

3) When they’re ready, put them under warm water from your sink for a brief second – it will make the package easier to come off.

4) Remove the packaging and enjoy!

Here’s the final product!

TIP: Keep Your Avocados from Browning with Lemons!

Tips

Tired of your delicious avocados turning brown way to quickly? We know that the delicious fruit isn’t cheap, so how can we keep them longer? Turn to lemons! Many people are aware that lemon juice can keep fruits and vegetables from browning – moms have been using lemon juice on apples forever! Lemons can do the same with avocados. Instead of squirting lemon juice on the avocado, though, just lay a slice of lemon on the open half of the avocado. Wrap it in saran wrap to make sure it stays, then throw it in the fridge! You’ve now successfully extended the life of your avocado! Feel free to invite me over if you’re making guacamole… ;-)
