SUMMER NOT BUMMER

Its officially summer!!! The calender marks it as June 21st,  but we say Memorial day is the true start and most people that own white denim would agree (although we never took ours out of rotation this year).  Now that the season of pool parties and barbecue filled weekends is here, we get to break out the popsicle molds and start experimenting with all these rad ideas we have been holding since the 60 degree winter...cough cough.  As harsh as it may be, people don't want popsicles at their Halloween, holiday or Super Bowl parties. They are summer thing and we like it that way.  Here are a handful of awesome popsicle recipes that include a few of our favorite ingredients; champagne, flowers,vanilla , avocado, rum, chocolate and lots of fruit!

SEA SALT + COCONUT+ CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Happy National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day!!!! What a fine Thursday to bake up a batch of your favorite version of the cookie pretty much everyone loves.  I promise your coworkers will be stoked when you get involved with this national holiday and bring them the overages. I have a theory that most mixtures of flour, sugar, eggs, baking power, baking soda and vanilla extract will turn out yummy, but to be safe there are tons of easy recipes online available for the "perfect chocolate chip cookie".  Since its been 100 degrees this week in Los Angeles, our daydreams have been filled with splashing around at the beach. To be able to make those dreams a bit more of a reality I had added a little sea salt and coconut to these guys. A little sea salt and a little coconut never hurt nobody.....or cookie.

*bonus: used coconut oil instead of butter, so they are ALMOST healthy!
