Fun Popsicle Treats
It’s supposed to be really hot here this weekend. Like 97 degrees. At my local Giant — I saw a new box in the popsicle aisle and was immediately drawn to it: PhillySwirl Swirlsticks (multi-flavored Italian Ices, on a stick).
To my surprise and delight, this box had the clearest allergy labeling of any brand of popsicle I have ever seen. Kudos to PhillySwirl! Right on the box (and on the website) it says whether the product is manufactured in a peanut/tree nut free facility. The box is also clearly marked as to whether the popsicles contain dairy, soy, or gluten. An allergy mom’s dream. And as a bonus: the popsicles taste pretty good too. Win-win.
Happy Summer, everyone. Try to stay cool.

I do not usually shop at Giant, but I will make a trip. I have been making our own popsicles from pomegranite, cranberry and lemonade.

We do the same in push-ups — but she likes being able to eat things that come in a box to look just like her friends. : )

I love the PhillySwirls push-ups, the thing I find most amazing is how well they stain your kids lips and teeth! I totally ban them on Saturday nights because thekids will still have blue lips for church the next day!

We are big Philly Swirl fans here. We discovered them at Roche Bros., a supermarket chain in southern New England. I agree–the labeling is great. It is nice to be able to buy a cold, peanut-free treat that is clearly labeled and “safe”. Now if we only we could get Chapman’s ice cream down here!
