So let’s talk about these little guys. Because they were quite popular when I posted them on instagram yesterday. No, but seriously. They received the most likes and comments that I’ve ever had on any picture I posted. Other places must be just as hot as Colorado, so they look more appetizing than usual. That’s the only thing I can think of. Well, they deserved the love. They are quite delicious. And refreshing when it’s 95 degrees out. I’ve still been cooking in our house as the weather gets hotter and hotter, but it got to 90 degrees in our house the other day. You know how uncomfortable that is? Real uncomfortable. You see, we don’t have air conditioning. And, well, it blows. Oh well. I’ll just eat these instead or putting in my air conditioning window unit. Makes more sense to me.
Blow drying your hair in 90 degree weather rates up there among the most uncomfortable things of all time. Next to plucking eyebrows for the first time, brazilian waxes, and going to the gynecologist. #factofthedaythursday
I think you may begin to see lots of no bake desserts and lots of grilling items start popping up on the blog. Because I can’t stand to be inside, especially if they oven or stove is on.
There are few things that annoy me more than a person wearing sunglasses inside. There’s a difference between a hungover person on a Sunday morning with a group of friends out to brunch, who refuses to take his sunglasses off based upon the fact the he will frighten the paying customers around him. Including children. That’s totally understandable. But a person who just wears sunglasses every where they go, is weird. Like the guy who sat in front of me on our flight to D.C. He kept his sunglasses on throughout the entire flight, even to watch a movie. But then took them off once we landed. I just didn’t understand this fellow. Mostly because he kept scaring the sh*t out of me when he would burst out in laughter, thundering laughter, at the show he was watching on his ipad. Or start beating his back into his seat, thus almost knocking over my delicious sparkling water, just because his show was so funny. It made me uncomfortable. Also frightened, but mostly uncomfortable. People on planes are always the strangest people. Not really, but sometimes.
I still don’t understand why any airline loads the plane from front to back? CAN ANYONE EXPLAIN THIS TO ME SO I STOP HATING THE AIRLINES!?
I’m sad that I’m not really into the Bachelorette like I was with the Bachelor. The Bachelorette kind of bugs the hell out of me.
Do you ever ponder things? Like what happened to Freddy Prince Jr.? Or how he isn’t still famous with a name like that? I ponder things. Mostly things like that.
Mini Layered Ice Cream Pops
- Yield: 9 1x
Ingredients
For the ice cream*
- 1 (14 ounce) can of full fat coconut milk
- 1 egg yolk
- 3 tablespoons raw honey
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
For the other layers
- 1/3 cup roasted, unsalted cashews (salted may actually taste great in this with all the sweetness)
- 1/4 cup Kolat Dark Chocolate Coconut fruit & nut butter**
- 1/3 cup Enjoy Life Mini Chocolate Chips
Instructions
- First, you’ll need to create the ice cream. Whisk together the ice cream ingredients until completely mixed. Then pour ingredients in an ice cream maker. (If you don’t have an ice cream maker, you can mix the ingredients, pour into a bread pan, place in freezer, then scoop out when solid. A little time in the microwave may be needed to help soften it.)
- Once ice cream is solid, it’s time to build the ice cream pops. I used mini cups (you know, the ones you either rinse off your mouth with in the bathroom, or use for jello shots) but you could use larger size cups as well.
- In the bottom, add about a tablespoon of cashews, then a larger tablespoon of ice cream to cover them completely, then the nut buttter, the ice cream, then chocolate chips. Then place a craft stick in the middle of the popsicle, pressing it down to the bottom of the cup.
- Repeat until the ice cream is gone.
- Place in freezing and let freeze for up to 5+ hours to make sure all the ingredients are hard and well combined.
- Eat up. They may need to soften just a little bit so they are not too hard to bite into! So be careful!
Notes
*You could use store bought ice cream as well. **If you cannot get Kolat nut butter, mix a bit of cocoa powder and honey in your own almond butter! This made 9 pops

Be careful what you wish for kids – it’s so cold over here in the UK I’ve cracked out my winter coat 🙁
But I do sympathise re the hair. I lived in south east asia for a while and just gave up drying it in humidity.
Turns out I have a pretty good g-affro… who knew?
So airplanes. I don’t think this has anything to do with Mythbusters and their plane-loading conclusions, because I think we can all agree that airlines aren’t concerned with the most logical approach to anything. Ever.
My boyfriend explained it to me as such, since I was also curious – Most everything on airplanes now is a la carte, from beverages to snacks, to luggage, to boarding. Priority boarding is something people pay for. One of the reasons they do this is because they have the assurance of their ridiculously oversized carry-on luggage fitting in the overhead compartments, as no one else’s has made it up there. If you’ve ever been one of the last to board, if the overhead space is full, they will make anyone who’s things won’t fit in the space by their feet check their luggage (for free, but you still have to wait for it). Now, priority seating isn’t always at the front of the plane, but some people request to be near the front.
Also, when they would load the back of the plane first, some people in the back would put their overhead items in the front of the plane so that they can grab them on their way out. (I assume mostly men, because as a woman this seems like the most silly thing on earth to me.) No one is sitting in the front and trudging to the back of the plane to put their stuff up top.
Lastly, first class is in the front. You pay more money, you get on the plane first. I have a personal theory that since if the plane crashes you’re much more likely to die if you’re sitting in the front, they want to get those people on the plane and happy, cause it may be one of the last things they do. Morbid.
Hope that helped!
Also, you’re awesome. Keep on keepin’ on.
you think sunflower seed butter would work also? thanks!!
absolutely!
haha. i like to ponder. almost as much as i like freaking beautiful little ice cream sticks.
Oooh. I think I’ll try these tonight! I am soooo in love with my new ice cream maker! And I know I shouldn’t say this, but I HATE having to turn on the air conditioning. 🙁 I will do it only when the house gets over 80, and in part because it’s soooo freaking humid here it actually starts to do damage to the house (doors warp, etc). But it sucks to feel like you’re in a tomb when all you want is to let the fresh air into the house and hear the birds & let the sun shine in.
Holy mother of icecream. YUM
I’m in the market for a kale salad recipe. Not to hot to create a cool, healthy salad?
I had a raw kale salad at a restaurant that gave me an idea. I had a recipe for a tangy, apple paleo coleslaw. I changed out the cabbage for raw kale. My whole family loves it. I think you can take any coleslaw or salad recipe and switch out the green stuff for raw kale.
I just came to check if anyone had posted the answer to the plan question. I feel like we still don’t have a solid answer. Please share i a future blog post if you ever do finally get the question answered. Maybe the airline flight attendants and pilots don’t want you to know the answer…
Love that you are using Kolat! One of my close friends is the owner of Kolat Super Foods. She makes the most delicious products 🙂
Juli,
This is a great recipe! My nephew has an egg and dairy allergy and has not had ice cream or any frozen treat in his life. Is there something other than an egg I could use instead so he can have ice cream? Going to the beach with them and would like to surprise him with this. THANKS so much and I love your blog!
Mistie
Just remove the egg. Will be just fine without it!
