This is a review for a new cookbook called 200 best ice pop published by Andrew Chase. The thoughts in this review are mine and my friends and family no, one else.
Even though SUMMER has passed for Charlie and I we still eat ice pops. We live in Texas and most of the time it isn’t that cold here and there is days even in the Winter when we need to cool down after playing outside. Charlie and I will grab a ice pop as our snack. Usually they are ones we make using Kool-Aid but it gets tired of always having the same ice pops.
Through 200 best ice pop recipes Charlie and I have new recipes allowing us to create ice pops not only for our family but our friends and family as well. In fact Charlie can use this new cookbook in our cooking class and make ice pops for my nieces and nephews when we go to visit them.
Charlie and I can grab our cookbook and the ingredients we need and go to my sisters house. Where Charlie, Jason and Lily can create ice pops for there home. Then we could go down to my mother in laws and Charlie could make ice pops for his sister Leslie and his cousin Elijah and Payton,
For me I like being able to decide which ingredients we will be using inside the ice pops we make and they will be healthier than the ice pops we purchase in our local grocery stores. We can add ingredients we want in our ice pops not what someone else thinks we should or shouldn’t have. I can monitor how much sugar is in the ice pops we create and now Charlie isn’t getting more Sugar than he needs.
