I've been in complete denial about the weather. We've been dealing with below freezing temps and snow storms for the past couple of weeks, but in my head, I didn't want to believe winter was coming so soon. I've been walking around at work wearing a million layers and shivering constantly. I even wore a beanie in public the other day when I went out for a run. Me. A beanie. IN PUBLIC! Believe me when I tell you, that means it's been REALLY cold.
But in my head I was like: " No, it's not officially winter yet. This is going to change, it can't stay like this till spring". But it kept getting worse... So I finally realized that I had no choice but to accept it. I don't like it but, unless I move somewhere that is warm all year long, it's the way it is.
And then... This past weekend happened. Temperatures in the 60s and even reaching the low 70s. Right on the first day of winter. Really Mother Nature? Really? I mean, I'm not complaining but, my body is all confused! It's 80 degrees in my apartment and I can't get the temperature to go down. I went out yesterday wearing flip flops and a t-shirt! And that's all good, except, the forecast for the rest of the week is low 40s and a chance of snow. Which means, back to layers, beanies and shivering. Like I said. Confusing.
Come on, make up your mind already. Please.
Because, when I'm sitting here at home literally sweating, and it's the end of December, my whole game plan changes, especially when it comes to food. I don't want warm soups, or heavy hearty meals! I want something light, cool and refreshing.
Like, these little bites here.
And you know what's great about them? Even when the weather has another mood swing and it turns cold again, they're fancy and pretty enough to serve at your Holiday dinner, as a light dessert you can enjoy by the fireplace.
Happy Holidays everyone, if you're celebrating... And stay warm (or cool. Whatever)

These look so good I'd probably eat them in the middle of winter anyway! Although in Australia the middle of winter isn't really that cold... 🙂 These look delicious!

You are lucky, we grew up in Barcelona and it is not that cold in the middle of the winter either. The East Coast of the US, that's another story...

Saw these on Foodgawker and was hooked! This is my kind of treat - greek yogurt, pomegranate, frozen, and cute - pinning! And our weather is finicky, too, one day warm, one day freezing. Me and my wardrobe can't figure it out:)

Great recipe! I tried it as is but I'm really not a fan of Chobani Greek yogurt. Pomegranates are great but eating the seed just weirds me out. Trying this recipe with blueberries tonight. When the Chobani is gone, I'm going to try making this with Publix yogurt instead. Only thing I would suggest is making these as popsicles or using mini ice cube trays. Still a really great idea that can be used in so many different ways.

Can you use splendid in place of powdered sugar?
Reply
Vicky & Ruth says
Hi Joyce, we can't answer your question because we never work with artificial sweeteners. Sorry about that.
Reply
Debbie says
What type of sugar did you use? I'm thinking a sweetener would change the taste?
Reply
Vicky & Ruth says
We used confectioner's sugar. Regular granulated sugar would make the yogurt cubes grainy. Using Maple Syrup or Honey would definitely change the flavor and consistency. Were you thinking of any other sweetener?
Reply
debbie kent says
I didn't have anything particular in mind. Maybe I will try cutting the sugar amount in half and taste test, adding a little at a time if necessary. I'm glad its confectioner's!!!
Reply
Vicky & Ruth says
Unfortunately, when making frozen treats you need to use a little more sugar, but if you use less and it works out, please let us know. we would love to know.
