Have you ever made something that made you so happy, you could not stop smiling? Well look at what has me smiling!
The weather has been getting so nice, and I love it. I like hot weather, I do not like to be cold. Funny coming from Michigan seeing how cold our weather gets. We hit 90 degrees on Sunday and it was perfect. One thing I like when its hot is a frozen fruit bar, but when I saw how much they cost this year I decided to make my own. Who knew it was that easy. Just get some molds, cut some fruit and add fruit juice. I picked up these cute molds at the grocery store. The molds are cheaper than a 6 pack of frozen fruit bars.
So I just chopped up some strawberries and threw in some whole blueberries and topped off the molds with fruit juice. That’s it.
Stuck them in the freezer.
Look at these beautiful frozen fruit bars with no added sugar.
I am loving this. So simple, why have I not been making these all my life. I have so many frozen combinations I can not wait to make. This will be a perfect treat on those hot days.
For dinner I made a Buffalo Blue Cheese Chicken Burger. Wow, another keeper. I have been slightly obsessed with using ground chicken and making different burgers lately.
The spicy hot sauce and the sharpness of the blue cheese is so good together.
Even though it’s a big old burger, it’s not heavy at all. It’s actually a nice light meal. Glad this recipe makes 4 burgers, now I can enjoy it again.
Buffalo Blue Cheese Chicken Burger

Makes 4 Burgers
- 1/2 cup sliced carrots
- 1 pound ground white-meat chicken

Good idea!! We used to make our own fruit bars as a kid, I’m not sure why I haven’t continued that…I would assume you could use frozen fruit just the same right?
Oh yeah, the blueberries I used were frozen and they were fine. I want to try it with some frozen blackberries I have.
Those burgers look amazing!! I love buffalo chicken anything. Especially with blue cheese!
Blue cheese is wonderful, love it on burgers and salads
Dena, those fruit pops are mouthwatering!
They are so good! Sometimes it’s the little things:-)
I want ALL OF THIS FOOD! Those fruit popsicles look so cool and refreshing and the burgers hot and savory….sounds like the perfect meal! 🙂
Could have been a homerun if I had those double chocolate whole wheat cookies you made yesterday, so glad you posted the recipe.
Aw thanks friend! 🙂
Those fruit bars look so good! My little nephews are coming to visit this weekend, and I may have to make these!
Thanks! They are so fun and easy to make, plus knowing what is in them is a bonus.
I saw your post earlier today and told my husband we have to buy popsicle molds (my husband eats a couple of popsicles every day). They’re so easy to make and I like that you can put what you want in them.
I received my package in the mail today! Thanks so much again Dena! 🙂 It brightened my day.
I love buffalo blue cheese anything! Your post totally made me hungry tonight.
Excellent! Hope you like the bars. Yeah I’m with you on the buffalo cheese anything, can not get enough. I plan on getting another set of mold’s so I can have several flavors going all the time!
I really ought to make my own popsicles, too. Who knew it was so easy, and soooo much cheaper!
I know, I was so excited they were so easy
I love your fruit bars! They really do look so refreshing. I am going to put the molds on my shopping list!
They are a perfect healthy treat!
