Celebrate Summer with Lucky Leaf

 I was contacted by a company called “Lucky Leaf” and asked if I would like a free sample of their products and then in turn would I write a post about it.  I was actually quite excited about it when I found out that it involved food!  So a few days later I received a fun package in the mail and I was excited to try out some of their great recipes!

The first recipe that I tried out was the frozen pie pops, who would of thought to make a Popsicle with canned pie filling?  Not me, but  I tried this recipe and they were delicious and so full of flavor.   I love the cute pop mold that they sent, the handle on the top looks like a tongue sticking out ready to lick the Popsicle!  As you can see a couple of my grand kids did the kid-taste test and it looks like they passed, they loved them and I loved how quick and easy they were to make.

I got this idea last year from Your Home Based Mom and I have done it several times since.  It is a fun party idea and your guests will enjoy making their own Italian Soda!

Buttermilk Syrup

This recipe is a great one to make for a Mother’s Day Breakfast or Brunch, even if you have to make it for yourself, you are totally worth it!

I got this recipe from a friend and fell in love with it.  It is like melted caramel and once you try it, you may never want to go back to maple syrup! I make this every once in awhile when I really want to splurge for breakfast, and then again for dessert, because the leftovers make a great caramel sauce for ice cream!

Mrs. Fields Cookies

This recipe is a great copycat recipe that I have had for many years!   I cannot remember where this recipe came from so I cannot give credit to anyone.  But we have had it in our family for a long time. I have made these for school kids, college kids and even mailed them away in packages to missionary sons.

One of the great things about doing a blog, is that the recipes that I post will be recorded for future use!  My recipe card is getting pretty hammered and is well worn, so now I will have a lot better copy of this recipe!
