pineapple jalapeño pops!

the mister and I have become quite obsessed with Steel City Pops, our local popsicle shop.

they have many awesome flavors, but one of my faves is Pineapple Jalapeño.

so I attempted to recreate it.

freshly cut pineapple (it's cheaper to buy a pineapple than it is to buy it cut up)

about half of a jalapeño pepper

you also need about 1/2 c sugar and 1/2 c water (I heated the water and dissolved the sugar in it)

blend.

pour.

freeze.

bite.

sweet and spicy.  yeah.

my new summer wreath

Since we have a ton of burlap left over from our wedding, I decided to put some of it to good use by making a summer wreath.  I bought a pack of felt in bright colors, made some felt flowers and had a hot gluing extravaganza!
