Hop Right In!

I believe that salt is to food, what food is to life. In right proportions, it can heighten the taste of what you eat..and in the wrong - destroy! Even the most delicious sweets come added with some salt...to taste!

As for me, I've never enjoyed cooking. And as contrary to my owning a food-blog as it may sound, I always think about daily, routine cooking as a chore. But my tryst with the pots and pans began when I got a kitchen all to myself...I began experimenting and exploring new worlds in my own home. Some outcomes were excellent and some plain disasters. Then sprouted the need to keep track of all those good ones...and hence this blog!

Here, I share those experiments that pleased more than one palate!

Strawberries and Cream Popsicles

100 posts and 2 years. And, as if that wasn't reason enough to celebrate, I bought myself a Popsicle maker. Pretty obviously, I had to inaugurate it. And, I did. 


May 2010 was when SSTT entered her third year of life. Woot! I never believed I'd come this far with my blog. But, yes I have. Within two years, I've gained a lot more experience in blogging, many more co-blogger friends and certainly learnt so much more in the kitchen. At this moment, I was seriously considering deleting some of my initial posts (my first post being a simple version of Bhel Puri) because they all look so pathetic. Later, it struck me that I'd rather not. It is only when I have those old, badly written, terribly structured and picturized posts (not that I'm very good at pictures even now, but, I'm learning!) that I realize how far I've come in this culinary journey. Of course, thanks to all you readers out there and most certainly to all those of you who go ahead and try the recipes I share with you on SSTT.

Definitely, a little something to celebrate ought to be sweet. With temperatures soaring, all I could think of was a frozen treat. My little sonny enjoyed it to the hilt; I just had to take pictures of him gorging down these strawberries and cream popsicles.


You can even see the little orange bowl in which he loves to keep his munch-ables, whilst eating anything.



Ingredients
10-12 strawberries, washed, hulled and quartered
1 Cup heavy cream
2 tbsp thick yogurt
1/2 Cup sugar (or as per your taste)



Method
- Add all ingredients in food chopper/blender/processor and run on medium/high speed until  everything has blended in to a creamy texture
- Pour in popsicle maker and freeze for about 6-8 hours
- When ready to serve, douse popsicle maker in warm water for about 30-50 seconds and gently remove popsicles

Makes 4 mouthwatering popsicles

  1. Congratulations and Wishing you many more years of blogging. I totally understand how it feels to see those old posts. I have started replacing the pics as and when I find time.
    Those strawberry pops are so easy to make and it reminds me that I have bought a pop mould and it should be put in use.
