Who's Holding the Stick: Today, please help me welcome my friend Bea from The Not So Cheesy Kitchen. While Bea is currently in Germany, you can usually find her blogging dairy-free and whey-free out of PDX. Today, she brought twin-pops (I must have a set of twin-pop molds - I'm so jealous!) made with Oregon Hood Strawberries, which are her favorite strawberries...which she has me longing to try.
This is the topic #SummerOfThePopsicle, as this is the year of the popsicle in our house and I finally own some popsicle molds. Popsicles are perfect. The perfect afternoon summer treat, is it not?! Plus it is a treat I certainly don’t mind my kids eating☺.
The choice as to flavor popsicle was fairly easy for me, as I am ever so slightly obsessed with Oregon Strawberries. The perfect one is actually the Hood Strawberry; the sweetest strawberry you will ever taste. Their sugar content is so high that they need to be either eaten, frozen, worked into jam, ice cubes, or {tahhhdahh} popsicles as soon as you get home from picking.
Now enough about the strawberries, and on to the popsicle. In content they spoil quickly – but don’t you worry, we used them all up. Yup, in my book strawberries and mint are the perfect combination, luckily there is beyond plenty of chocolate mint {it does not taste like chocolate ☺} in our backyard….
Thank you so much for having me, Heather.

Thanks so much, Bea - I don't know that there's much better than the simple combo of strawberry and mint, these sound so delicious! I hope you'll drop by and give Bea some love at The Not So Cheesy Kitchen, or follow her on twitter or pinterest.
