Press sample provided from Zoku. All experiences and opinions, as well as the recipe, presented here are my own. One of my favorite candy bars is Reese's, and yes, the candy did inspire me to come up with these freezer pops.

I decided to keep that part very simple, since it was just a small Continue Reading

Creamy Arugula Almond Pesto Pasta Recipe

This week my garden finally started to kick in, and this Creamy Light Arugula Basil Almond Pesto recipe is the result. The sauce is quick to toss together and pretty healthy too.
