Because summers here are preciously short, the city truly comes to life and residents, myself included, strive to maximize every single day. I recently attended a street festival, and the longest line of dozens of food trucks was at a homemade ice pop stand. After enjoying my pop (worth the wait!), I realized that my own pop mold had been sitting sadly in our storeroom since last year. I resurrected it to make these chocolate pudding pops, and they were sweet reminder of why I love homemade ice pops so much....

I’ve always had a weak spot for white chocolate. I even have fond childhood memories of picking through the (wrapped) candy bowl in search of the white Lindor truffles that may be buried in there. I’m not a white chocolate snob though – I’ll totally eat a plain white chocolate bar just as happily. And now, thanks to my new recipe, that can be low carb sugar-free white chocolate. Purists might complain that white chocolate is not “real” chocolate since it doesn’t include cocoa powder, but I’d have to respectfully disagree....

There’s nothing quite as versatile as a good impossible quiche. You can eat it at any time of the day, by itself or with some easy sides. It stores well in the fridge for a few days and can be frozen for later if you can’t eat it all that quickly. I’ve purposely kept this crustless quiche bare bones - just ham and cheese. You can, of course, add in some veggies or mix it up with some bacon....

I find that many modern BBQ recipes place a lot of emphasis on special sauces, special ingredients or ludicrously lengthy lists of spices.
