Today was quite a big day!
Three Pinterest projects and two girlfriends (Amy and Sarah) to help out!
We started with watermelon mojito Popsicles:

I only made 1/4 of a batch and it made 5 Popsicles using this Popsicle maker from IKEA. There's less than half an ounce of rum in each, but they still deliver a punch! Everything was pretty easy to make.

Next we moved on to mini Cannoli's:

We made the filling (definitely do not use skim or fat free ricotta, it doesn't get as creamy) first and then the shells. We only ended up needing one pie shell.
While we waited for the shells to bake we moved on to arts and crafts time!
Headbands out of old tee shirts!

The directions left out the part where one of the materials is an 8 year old girl who goes to summer camp and knows how to make friendship bracelets. These things were pretty hard so Amy and Sarah decided to only braid 3 pieces of shirt and I stuck with 5 (3 would have been a better choice). We also avoided sewing and decided to break out the hot glue gun! I don't recall any episode of Sex in the City or Girls where the women were making crafts and using hot glue guns.... This is the real NYC!
After we finished the headbands it was time to eat mini Cannoli's! We added some chocolate chips (they didn't have mini chips at Whole Foods so these are huge) and ate away.... Delicious!
It was also a super easy recipe to follow! Now I have 12 mini Cannoli's left, feel free to stop by (unless you're a stranger, please don't come over).
Amy and Sarah will be joining me again in the next few weeks to try some lunch recipes!
