Watermelon Lime Sorbet (Sugar Free too!)

Watermelon Lime Sorbet (Sugar Free)




It has been soooooo hot here.  And for Montana that's sayin' something!  So when I saw this recipe I just HAD to try it.  


I thought it sounded delish, and refreshing, and cool, and... (well I can't think of anything else but cold right now)!  And I can't leave anything alone, of course, so I added my own twist to it and made it sugar free to boot!  And of course, it was delish, so now I wanted to share it with you.  

All you need is:

4 cups Watermellon
Juice of 1 lime
zest fo 1 lime
3 Tbsp Agave Nectar (more or less to taste)
2 Tbsp Candided ginger (not in the original recipe but I like the little bit of spice it adds)



Slice your watermelon into manageable slices, place in your blender or food processor, blend until smooth.  place lime juice an zest in.  




Add ginger and blend again.  



Place in ice cream maker and let go until solid (about 10-15 minutes).  

Done, now you have a delicious, refreshing, summer treat to sooth away even the most sweltering of summer heat!  



























Happy Cold Treats everyone!

Summer Science with the Kids

Summer Science


I thought it would be fun to have a little bit of science with the kids this summer.  Something they have never seen.  An old trick with some new flare!  And we needed a little pick me up after getting out of preschool a few weeks ago.  I really think they were missing  some learning type stuff.  


Bubble Glitter Volcano in a Jar


Heres what you'll need:

vinegar
dish soap
food coloring
gltter
baking soda


Pour some vinegar in the jars

Mix in some food coloring

add a Tbsp or so of liquid dish soap














Add the glitter, as much or as little as you would like.

different colors, different shapes

whatever you like!






















Set them outside and get ready for the magic!

Let the kids start adding baking soda to the mix,
















The kids loved it!  They had so much fun learning about chemical reactions, and they didn't even know they were learning!

That's the best part, right?!?

I think the glitter really added something, but I always think glitter adds a little something!















Happy Science everyone!
