Pinterest: Success or Fail?

Ok, so I've decided to revamp my Monday Pinterest shares.  I keep sharing my Pins but not actually doing any of them.  Partly because of the new baby, partly because I have become a bit lazy after almost 6 weeks without going to work.  I realize raising my little one is a full time job but it's not the same when you don't leave the house.  So, I have decided to attempt at least one Pinterest find a week and report back on how I did, success or fail, to hold myself accountable and get myself off the couch and doing something fun.

My first adventure was a simple one because as I mentioned in an earlier post, last week was not a good week for baby.  He was unusually fussy all week which stressed me out.  I hate when he cries and I can't soothe him.  He's just growing and needs to cry it out sometimes but it's so hard to have to listen to it knowing there isn't anything I can do. 

Yeah, anyway, so this week's adventure was frozen yogurt pops.  I found this idea through Jillee over at One Good Thing who found it at Annily Green.*  
*(I think she is the originator of the idea but if not please let me know so I can give proper credit.)

This is a no brainer how-to:
Insert a Popsicle stick, plastic or wooden spoon, strong straw, etc. into the top of your yogurt lid.  Try to get it as close to the middle as you can and stick it in the freezer for a few hours.  Mine can usually be pulled out after about 2 hours but I stick them in at night so I can have them in the morning.  When you're ready to eat, stick the cup in a cup or bowl of warm water for 10-15 seconds, peel off the lid, and shimmy your frozen pop out!  If you have trouble pulling the pop out, just stick it in the water for a few more seconds until it comes out.  I have yet to have one break on me.

I would suggest using a smaller cup size of yogurt than I did.  The 6 oz is just hard to eat because the pop is so big and square. I'm always afraid it might melt on me.  Of course that's just my excuse for eating it so fast.  It really is just that good.  Especially when it's hotter than the surface of the sun outside.

If you choose to use the cups that have the foil lids, Jillee has a solution to the imbalance of the inverted shape of their cups HERE.  I have yet to try it but it seems rather simple.  She also has other ideas on different ways to freeze yogurt so check her out.

I'm calling this Pinterest try a success!  It's so super simple, I must have had nearly half a dozen of these since I decided to try it.  Do give it a shot, I promise you won't be disappointed.  It's a good (and cheap!) substitute when you can't make it to the local frozen yogurt shop.
