Strawberry Raspberry Popsicles

#Strawberry #Raspberry #Popsicles from alimentageuse.com. Perfect for a bright summer day! #vegan

Before I get into these AMAZING strawberry raspberry popsicles, I want to discuss my weight issues. People always ask me how I’m not a whale despite making and blogging all my food and desserts. I’m not “fat”, nor am I “skinny”; I’m just your average-sized-grad-student. (I’m using quotation marks because I think terms like “skinny” or “fat” are words that have too much cultural significance. People get offended so quickly and honestly, people are people. They come in different shapes and sizes. Their size doesn’t make me like or dislike them.) Anyway, Wiifit always depicts me as overweight because I weigh more than your average 5’5″ person, but I attribute that to my muscle mass. I don’t really exercise regularly, but I like to do yoga and zumba, play some volleyball, and go for the occasional swim. I wouldn’t say that I’m necessarily lazy, I just have a huge aversion for being sweaty (even though I like hot yoga more than any other yoga) and I have asthma that acts up in cold weather, hot weather, and when I exercise.

Raspberry Dark Chocolate Macarons

Raspberry Dark Chocolate Macarons
Oh. My. Yes. I thought the salted caramel ones were good, but these were spectacular. A big thank you to Sarah who helped me make these! She helped me dye my hair (I had to redo the red cause it was fading) and then I paid her in macarons. SO DELICIOUS. This flavour combo reminds me of Cake Boss and how Buddy Valastro gets all stoked about his cakes with “chocolate ganache topped with fresh raspberries. Mm. Delicious.” Yes. Read that in a super NJ accent.

Raspberry Lemon Squares

I have this thing for lemons. I don’t know what it is about that super sour citrus fruit, but it’s flavour is amazing when added to cookies, bars, salads, drinks, fruits, zOMG it’s all delicious. I had a lemon square phase back in the fall, and this is a hybrid of the recipe I regularly use for lemon squares and a recipe I StumbledUpon called “raspberry lemonade bars”. Although I thought the filling was a little too complicated, the egg whites and yolks didn’t add up and I have no use for yolks otherwise. Not immediately anyway. So opted for changing it a bit.

Raspberry Mini Cheesecakes

So I finally made these! I know I was supposed to make them aaaaages ago, but raspberries just weren’t on sale until today… haha. I saw them at the grocery store and I thought, HEY. THOSE LOOK LIKE THEY’D BE DELICIOUS IN CUPCAKE FORM. Especially with cheesecake.
