Some days it’s all about kicking back and enjoying things at a slower pace. Looking at the clouds, letting the birds sing and just taking in some sunshine.
I have a problem doing that. I always feel like there’s something else to cook, work that needs to be done, photos to be processed, a house that needs to be cleaned or a dishes that need to be done (very very guilty of the dishes one). It’s hard to make myself sit still and unwind but I’m quickly realizing it needs to be a mandatory part of the day. The other day I found a grey hair. The next day I found its friend… and on the third day I found out that they scrump like bunnies and make babies. Not cool.
I’m not sure what my 12 step program to de-stressing is going to be or how I’m going to get there – so while I ponder that, tale a look at the clouds today and tell me what you see up there. And don’t forget to help yourself to one of these pops – my freezers getting a little crowded. 
Honeydew Pops
because one honeydew is far too much for just one martini
Ingredients:
- 1/4 – 1/2 of a fresh honey dew
- 1/3 cup sugar
- juice of one lime
Preparation:
Dice the honey dew and combine all ingredients in a blender. Pulse until all large chunks are gone. Pour into popsicle molds and freeze for at least 4 hours before enjoying.
Simple, I know. What can I say, sometimes it happens…
My kids love popcicles, and this is a perfect way to use the honeydew melons I buy, but no one seems to eat!

You don’t have to say another word – I’ll help you with these.

I have the same problem unwinding, lady…

Incredibly easy but look incredibly good and I am sure they are incredibly tasty

It’s like you read my mind. This is exactly what I want for lunch right now! Sooo hot! And another excuse not do those dishes, yay!!
[Reply]
These are so perfect for a hot day! I seriously need a popsicle mold.
[Reply]
I have the same issue with stress!! These popsicles are such a great idea and I love the color!!
[Reply]
What a nice colour of these popsicles. Loved honey dew in them!
[Reply]
Definitely trying this on my kiddos sometime – buzzed btw
[Reply]
Oh, my. Melon-flavored anything is one of my favorite summer treats, especially in frozen form. I love these!
And your second paragraph describes me exactly, too. I can’t ever sit still anymore. These days, any spare time feels like time I should spending on things blog-related, cooking, photographing, writing. The gray hairs have started to pop up, too. At least enjoying one of these popsicles would provide momentary bliss.

Mmm, a delicious way to eat Summer fruit. I definitely need to pick up a popsicle mold.
[Reply]
What a unique flavor for a popsicle! I know what you mean about not taking the time to slow down enough. We all need to do that move often
[Reply]
Such a pretty color! And a flavor I have never seen in a popsicle before!
[Reply]
Oh yum! What a pretty color too! PS Grey hair ack haha! Getting old sucks
[Reply]
Your photos are so fresh I almost feel like I can grab one of these guys off the screen! While we are still waiting for summer – we are in the midst of the annual “June Gloom”, grey and drizzly – I’m saving these for future reference!! Excellent!
[Reply]
These look so refreshing. My daughter had one of those slushy honeydew drinks a few days ago and I thought it would be great as a Popsicle. You have just proven this to me.
[Reply]
Perfect timing!! I have been wanting to make popsicles so badly and I haven’t decided on which to make. I have a whole honey dew sitting on my counter untouched..i think this was meant to be!
[Reply]
yum, so re-freshing, I have been eating Popsicles like crazy this summer because I don’t feel guilty since I’ve been making them with fruit too. Great recipe
[Reply]
I, too, have a problem with just relaxing… I don’t know how to do that. I always feel that something needs to be done…so I’m always doing something. But, I could definitely sit on my porch and relax while eating a few of these popsicles … they sound YUMMO!
[Reply]
OH – they look so good!!!
[Reply]
These look fab. I’ve seen a lot of awesome popsicle recipes out there recently — need to get me some molds! Love the color of these, too.
[Reply]
Love that color…I am enjoying all of these popsicle recipes that are floating around. Yours are so creative, honeydew melon is wonderfully refreshing!
[Reply]
What pretty popsicles! I make popsicles all the time, but never work up the nerve to try photographing them! I am always scared I would be left with a puddle. You’ve done a great job!
[Reply]
Love these pops! I have some sliced honeydew sitting in my fridge, and it will soon find its way to the freezer. Thanks for the inspiration! And what lovely photos.
[Reply]
Oh wow! I didn’t know popsicles are so easy to make. I just bought an ice cream maker and I love it. Now I need to buy popsicle molds. My kids will love this. Thanks for the recipe – I bookmarked.
[Reply]
Well…. I could suggest puppies. Yes, they do rather create lots more work, but I find I have to go and sit on the grass and play with them several times a day. Thankfully, the neighbors can’t see me
) Housework can wait!
[Reply]
These look like they should be in the freezer section of a gourmet grocery store. Very nice!
[Reply]
this is exactly why i love sorbet. simple. fresh cold. I love honeydew. I know I’ll make these
