Here is wishing everyone a very happy and safe 4th of July!! I hope your day is full of fun and great food! Unfortunately, I have to work so I won’t be able to participate in any of the festivities. The joys of working a job that is 365 days a year. I can’t complain too much though as I do get most holidays off.

Here’s a simple little recipe that I thought I’d share with you all, especially if you have kids. Kids love popsicles, but younger kids often seem to wear almost as much as they eat, at least that is the case with my daughter. This recipe, I pulled off of the internet ages ago (can’t remember where) solves this problem. Using jello in the mix keeps these popsicles from melting all over little hands. Enjoy!

Dripless Popsicles

1 package Jello, fruit flavored, small package
1 package Koolaid
2/3 cup Water, boiling
2 cups Water, cold
1 cup Sugar

Combine jello, koolaid, sugar and hot water and mix until dissolved. Add cold water and pour into popsicle molds. Freeze overnight.
