Great Ideas -- Fabulous Fall Recipes {1}

Can you smell it?

No, not yet?

I can -- fall is in the air.

• Yum! @ Red Couch Recipes

Nothing represents fall like the beautiful changing leaves, crisp clean air, and yes, that, oh so delicious, freshly harvested produce.

Right now in the rural farm areas of the United States you can hear the roar of the tractors, you can smell the freshly plowed dirt, and feel the crispness in the air. Yes, it is coming: fall is almost here. It is my favorite time of year, a time to celebrate our bountiful harvests.

Let’s see what is being served up for dinner with some fabulous fall recipes.

"Summer Social" Guest Project -- Make Handmade Berrylicious Popsicles!!

Hey TT&J readers!!! I'm Cheryl,
aka TidyMom! When I am not baking, crafting or running around with my camera
you can find me over in my little corner of the universe at TidyMom.net

Like all of you I'm a HUGE fan of
Jen's and SO impressed with how much that girl can do!! I've had the pleasure
of meeting Jen a few times, and let me tell you, she's every bit as sweet, if
not more, in person as she is on her blog.

I share a lot of stuff on my blog,
everything from my favorite recipes to my favorite household tips.
I like to share photography tips and blogging tips, crafting , being thrifty
and makeovers and a little bit of everything in between. I host a weekly
link up party on Fridays where you can share your great ideas, project or
anything you are loving, called I'm Lovin' It.

I thought since Jen was having a
summer soiree, and I loooove to bring food to a party.......what's a summer
time party with out popsicles?!

These berrylicous popsicles are so
easy, even the kids can join in on the fun!

What you will need:

Berry
Blue Popsicles

• 6 tablespoons berry blue gelatin

• 1 cup sugar, divided

• 2 cups boiling water, divided

• 2 cups cold water, divided

• 6 tablespoons strawberry gelatin

• 18 Popsicle molds or paper cups (3 ounces each) and
  Popsicle sticks

Directions

1. In a small bowl, dissolve berry blue gelatin powder and
   1/2 cup sugar in 1 cup boiling water. Stir in 1 cup cold water.


2. In another bowl, dissolve strawberry gelatin powder and
   remaining (1/2 cup) sugar in remaining (1 cup)boiling water. Stir in
   remaining (1 cup) cold water.


3. In a small bowl, combine half of the berry blue gelatin
   mixture and half of the strawberry gelatin mixture. (so you now have 3
   bowls of gelatin)


4. Place all 3 bowls in freezer for about 2 hours or until
   slushy.


5. In a large bowl, lightly swirl the three colors as
   desired.


6. Fill each mold or cup with 1/4 cup gelatin mixture; top
   with holders or insert sticks into cups. Freeze.

Yields: about 10-18 pops depending
on the size.

Enjoy!!
