Ice Cream

Okay.  I’m in love with popsicles. And, well, chocolate, too for that matter. Put them together and I’m a happy camper. But — wait — these are *gasp* healthy chocolate popsicles?!? Awesome.

I wanted to share a sorbet recipe with you that has seen many changes and variations in our home over the last few years.

We all had a wonderful time visiting with family, taking long strolls out in the country and, of course, eating good ‘ole country fried [...]
