Cool treats

The weather is heating up, which means my ice cream maker is back in action. Joseph and Pamela were thrilled when I suggested making ice cream after playing outside in the warm sun yesterday. They couldn't wait to dig their spoons into the cool, vanilla ice cream topped with melted chocolate. Tonight they chose to savor every lick of their ice cream in a pushup pop. As, once again I started singing Van Halen's "Ice Cream Man," I remembered the blog I wrote for Living Without magazine last summer, "Cool Finds for Food-Allergic Kids," and thought I would share it again. It includes links to the pushup pops we love and the recipe for allergen-free ice cream and magic shell we enjoy. Here's to enjoying cool treats on hot days!
