Nana's Special Rocketships~


Since it snowed here Friday..I better share a summer post I never did..
When my girls were little they enjoyed Jello Popsickles~..

That was over 30 years ago..and time has flown by..
I found this special mold ..and thought..since I am not shopping for new cooking things for us these days..the boys would get this treat.
Their eyes actually lit up at these..Only Noah finished his:)



1 small pack of jello
2 cups boiling water
1/2 cup of sugar

Mix until dissolved..

It makes about 8 of the Rocketships~Perfect for future astronauts..girls and boys~
It is summer somewhere:) And will be again in northern states..a little recipe to save nanas..

    It snowed on Friday??? I know it won't be long here also. I've never made jello pops but now I have a recipe to save for when the weather gets warm again :) Beautiful colors in your photos!

    Snow? Oh no!! I'm not ready yet to even think about. I'll stay in denial looking at your pops. I have similar molds and pulled them out for Zac this summer. At 20 he still wanted these, so keep them handy for awhile. You'll need them. Thanks for the recipe.

    Such lovely treats for the little ones! I must tell you Monique that I downloaded those pretty labels for jam jars and printed them off onto sticker sheets ~ I am now keeping every liitle pretty jar to use for gifts of lemon butter- jams etc. Thank You so much for sharing that with us ~ I'm delighted.

    I bought those molds for my daughter to make the pops for her little boys. (As little boys often do, they were nearly as happy playing with the molds as eating the pops! LOL)

    Beautiful photos, Monique!
