How to Make Easy Organic Frozen Yogurt Bites

May 24, 2012 0

Eben has a love-hate relationship with yogurt. One week, he will love it, the next, he won’t touch it. Are your kids that way too? Last month, when we went to Universal Studios, Eben asked for Dippin’ Dots as his treat. That is when I had an idea – if I freeze his yogurt into bite sized dots, I bet he would devour them. I was right, I made a bowl of organic yogurt bites last night and he ate the whole bowl in one sitting! Read on to learn how to make these easy organic yogurt bites for your little ones.

What you will need:

  • organic yogurt 
  • icing bag
  • glass pan 

 
Step 1: Mix the Yogurt
Using a wooden spoon I mixed strawberry and blackberry yogurt together.

Step 2: Make Yogurt Bites
Using an icing bag, pipe bite sized dots onto a glass pan.

Step 3: Freeze the Yogurt Bites
Place the glass pan in the freeze for 30 minutes, or less if you would like a softer texture.

Step 4: Eat and Enjoy!
Remove the yogurt bites from the glass pan with a spatula, place in a bowl and eat immediately!

Transparent Bubble Huts Offer the Best View

May 21, 2012 0

I love these transparent bubble huts from French designer Pierre-StĂ©phane Dumas. Wouldn’t these igloo shaped tents from Bubbletree be perfect for camping? I love the idea of being cozy inside at night, snuggled up watching the stars! I wonder what type of material they are made from and how the temperature is controlled?

Would you camp in a bubble tent? Or, would it freak you out that anyone could see inside?

It’s National Bike Month!

May 18, 2012 0

May is National Bike Month! Have you pulled your bicycles out of the garage yet? Do you plan on riding your bike to work today? One of the things about South Florida that I dislike is –  it isn’t very bike friendly. There are neighborhoods and communities where riding your bike is a pleasure, and super easy to do. However, overall, for people who want to commute to work by bike or travel long distances – South Florida isn’t the best place. We do have the beach, the ocean and fantastic weather all year, so I won’t whine. Ha!

Here are some of my favorite bicycle related posts to get you in the mood for bike week:

– Did you know that I am obsessed with bicycles?
– I am still loving the idea of riding a Velorbis Mobii Bicycle, a STRiDA Eco Folding Bike, a Madsen Bicycle, a Papillionaire Bicycle, a Republic Bicycle.
– I also wouldn’t mind being in a Bicycle Wedding Party!

Do you love to ride your bicycle too?
