Organic Pear Raspberry Popsicles Recipe

I'm on a mission this summer to get my family eating more organic fruits and veggies. We got a ton of organic raspberries from the co-op this week so here is what I made!

Organic Pear & Raspberry Popsicles 

(makes 4)

Ingredients-

4 oz water

1 small pear, peeled and diced

1/2 cup raspberries

Directions-

Add all ingredients to a blender. 

Blend well. Pour into popsicle molds 

and let them set in the freezer for about 4 hours. 

Also- did you know you can make lemonade in the blender?!? I saw this post on One Good Thing by Jillee and just had to try it! It was delicious- I added a handful of raspberries to make Raspberry Lemonade!

Healthy Cookie Recipe

We tried a new healthy cookie recipe today.  They are gluten, dairy and egg free and only use natural sugars (except that I realized later that the dried fruit that I used had some added sugar- not much but still- check your labels!)

Jillian helped me make them - she loves helping in the kitchen!  

Ingredients:

3 bananas
2 c. rolled oats
1/3 c. applesauce (or 1 packet of the squeeze kind!)
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1/2 c. dried fruit (we used cherries, cranberries and blueberries)
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 tbsp. flax seed meal

1 tbsp cinnamon

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 

Using a fork, mash the bananas in a bowl. 

Stir in everything else! Mix batter well. 

Drop by rounded spoonfuls onto a cookie sheet. 

Bake for 20 minutes.
