Hi! to all of ‘Or so she says’ friends!
I’m Ruthie from What’s Cooking with Ruthie.com where I love to talk about cooking, gardening, and a little dose of everyday life! I’m super excited to be guest posting here today! I met Mariel recently at the Evo blog conference … she’s such a sweet lady and I’m SO glad that I got to know her!
Parfait Pops… are a delicious treat!
My son, Jake and I made these yummy little Parfait Pops in about 15 minutes this morning! They’re quick and healthy and super fun for kids to help out with in the kitchen… the only down-side is the 3 hours it takes in the freezer before they can be enjoyed 🙂

Peel off wrapper and enjoy!!
Parfait Pops is a super fun activity to with the kiddos this summer PLUS they’re a healthy, cold, summer-time treat!! I really think they taste a lot like Fried Ice Cream! (that you buy at a Mexican Restaurant only healthy!) YUMMO 🙂
PS… You may want to peel the wrapper off of the Parfait Pops over the sink, some of the cereal won’t stick completely.
Just wanted to say a big ‘Thank You’ to Mariel and all of you for having me today! I hope you enjoy these recipes and have a super fun summer or what’s left of it… Time flies so quickly!!
Happy Cooking!
Love,
Ruthie
