Spicy Cantaloupe & Cucumber Popsicles

August 17, 2015 by Leave a Comment

 

I have spicy, fruity, cantaloupe-y, cucumber-y, popsicle-y, pops for you!

But, first, let’s get to the obvious.

As you can see, things look a little different around here. We are still working on (and by we, I mean mostly Sean) the new site design. There are old elements still in place because I really love them (the Kate Worum illustrations) but things are just a little bit updated. For those of you that are curious, I installed a new, more user friendly, theme so I could have a little more control over things without having a meltdown and waiting for Sean to come home from work to help me. We’re still working on a few more things–adding back my peachy social buttons, finishing up the much cuter recipe index, and such. While I would have loved to have this all roll out super cleanly and all at once, this is a DIY sitch so it’s going to take a few more evenings of Sean working out the kinks and me asking the googles lots of questions and both of us wrangling our child. Thanks for your patience!

Anyway, I brought popsicles to this Monday-party–cantaloupe and cucumber–and they spicy! Like, jalapeño spicy! These guys are totally refreshing with a nice peppery kick. The cantaloupe and cucumber really go nicely together. Sometimes I find cantaloupe to be a little sweet and a little aggressive in that musky, melony way, and the cucumber really chills it out. I love the play of the sweet and cool frozen pop with the background of spice from the jalapeño. It makes these refreshing pops fun and interesting, and we like fun and interesting on a Monday. PS, I’d totally endorse dunking these guys into a cocktail–maybe one with tequila.

If you like less spice, remove the seeds and ribs of the jalapeño. If you like more, add more!

    Wow, the new site looks beautiful and I love that you kept the illustration! Yes I think I would definitely have to dunk these in a margarita or maybe just straight tequila…and let it all melt and be delicious!!
