During the summer, I experiment a lot with popsicle treats- even adult treats like espresso pops . If you know me, you know that I don’t like to use plastic, nonstick or aluminum when cooking (I also shy away from silicone/plastic as well). I found these stainless steel pop molds- and even though I’m not cooking with them, I much prefer the stainless steel molds as opposed to traditional plastic ones. This is the set I found on Amazon and absolute love:

This set is nice because it comes with a variety of star cutout sizes. For watermelon, I use the larger one. The smallest one is great for cheese, puffed pastry and even dog treats.
I like to serve summer drinks in a mason jar – for the quintessential country backyard party.
I love this kit- it comes with cupcake liners, little cupcake flags, and sprinkles!
CRAFTS FOR THE KIDS!

A FEW OF OUR FAVORITE KITCHEN TOOLS & ACCESSORIES
EMILIE HENRY PIZZA STONE
Steam Diverters found on Amazon – I have this dragon one and a plain (non-character) diverter that prevents steam from damaging the underneath of my cabinets. I highly recommend a steam diverter.
