How-To: Pineapple Banana Pops

In the Kitchen

By Katie Goodman

Popsicles are a favorite summer treat in our house. With outside temperatures teetering dangerously towards 100 degrees Fahrenheit, homemade popsicles are the perfect healthy treat to cool off during the long, hot afternoons.

It's simple to make your own 100% fruit popsicles at home, and the flavor combinations are only limited by your imagination. Last summer, Pomegranate Raspberry Popsicles were the #1 hit in our house.

This time I mixed things up for a tropical feel. Fresh pineapple, freshly squeezed orange juice, and banana come together in this nutrient-rich afternoon snack that you won't feel bad about indulging in.

What are your favorite summer popsicle flavors?

How-To: Wall Garden from a Pallet

Garden_Pallet-Completed-430x300.jpg

Growing edible plants on your fence, wall, or balcony is all the rage right now, and for many good reasons. The setup is attractive, the greens and/or herbs are inexpensive and yummy, and the idea is just cool!

A friend recently sent me a link to this wonderful take on the wall garden; it uses a packing pallet and looks amazing. If you decide to try this project yourself, be sure to find a pallet that's stamped HT for "heat-treated." You shouldn't grow your edibles on a pallet or any wood that's been treated with pesticides.

I'd love to see more examples of wall gardens, so post them to the CRAFT Flickr Pool and let us know about it!

How-To: Cheery Fourth of July Garland

july_4th_garland_step9a.jpg

By Jessica Wilson

You may already know that I am a HUGE fan of garlands and bunting. So I don't think it should be too surprising that I've got a nifty Fourth of July inspired garland up my sleeve for you. The color combo of red, white, and blue is often a crowd pleaser, so there is no need to save this just for July. Alternately, you can use any color combo you like as the supplies for this may already be in your humble supply stash. All you need is a little paint, a handful of index cards, and some ingenuity. Let's play!
