End of Summer Pop-Up Party with Popsicle® – plus a Giveaway!



Disclosure: This post was created in connection with my appointment as an Ambassador in the Popsicle® Blogger Program.  Visit facebook.com/popsicle to join the conversation. All opinions are my own.

Guess what I did today?
We had a spur of the moment party, and Popsicle‘s were the star of the show!

We’ve been planning to have a yard sale tomorrow, to clear things out so we can get a bit more organized. Kind of an “end of summer cleaning”, RiRi’s friend was visiting and helped us sort through our things while D-Man was having fun playing with his friends from next door outside. This is when I had a great idea!

You may remember I’m a Blog Ambassador for Popsicle®, and we’ve made so many fun memories this summer. We’ve been calling it our “Summer of Popsicle‘s” because so many of our fun moments these past few months had Popsicle® included, so what better way to end our summer than with a fun send off with Popsicle®!?

I whipped up some goodies to serve with our assortment of Popsicle’s and let the kids enjoy. They had so much fun!

What’s better for a Pop-Up Party than Popsicle‘s? We served them in a punch bowl with a bunch of ice so all the little hands could just pick and choose what they wanted. They loved it!
I also made some brownies, rolled them up in little ball and sprinkled them with some powdered sugar. Just stick a Popsicle® stick in them and you have an instant favorite snack! The kids thought these were so fun!
Next up was some lemon cake batter cookies, complete with orange frosting and fun, colorful sprinkles. 
Each of the kids went directly for the Popsicle® flavor of their choice right away!
Our neighbors daughter grabbed her favorite too! 
Looks like the Firecracker® Popsicle‘s were everyone’s favorite!
D-Man and I hanging out together, enjoying our Popsicle‘s. I love the YoSicle‘s!
The girls having a blast in their stylish shirts and yummy Popsicle‘s!
Another of our neighbors’ daughters enjoying her Popsicle®.
RiRi’s friend enjoying a cake batter cookie after finishing off her Popsicle®.
D-Man and Daddy hanging out and having fun.
The cherry punch was a perfect finish with the miniature cups that were just the right size for the kids.
These boys are each others shadows. Attached at the hip! RoRo loves his Mighty Minis ( I love the slow melt) and D-Man loves the Firecrackers!
RiRi grabbing a cookie too.
Too cute watching them interact, they were having a great conversation about which Popsicle® flavor is their favorite!
RoRo had so much fun!
Do you want to plan your own Popsicle® Pop-Up Party?
Popsicle® has partnered with Brooke Peterson, a lifestyle and entertaining expert that has been giving wonderful tips and fun ideas for how to plan fun Popsicle® parties nationwide!
Check out the Popsicle® Facebook page, and follow along all their fun they had over the summer with their Popsicle® Pop-Up Party tour! Join the conversation!
I also have a fun giveaway that includes Popsicle® product coupons and a $25 Target gift card to help you plan your very own Popsicle® Pop-Up Party! Good luck!

[Sponsored]: Summertime is coming and will be here before we know it! You all know that I love easy meals during the warmer months, and I also love a good meal in a bowl. It’s also Vidalia Onion season 🧅 so I paired this seasonal favorite with pan-seared shrimp and veggies as a light rice bowl using your choice of grains.☺️This meal is an absolute delight!

Get the recipe and all the Vidalia Onion details by clicking the link in my profile or desktop users can click here for the recipe >> https://mamaharriskitchen.com/2021/06/pan-seared-shrimp-veggie-rice-bowl-vidalia-onions/ .

Also make sure to grab some Vidalia Onions from your local grocer before they are out of season in late August/early September.☀️

This time of year I love warm, comforting recipes that are super easy and delish. This ridiculously easy Chicken Tortilla Soup is a one pot meal, ready in under 30 minutes and uses already prepared rotisserie chicken for maximum flavor (and ease)! With a tasty blend of flavors and textures, it’s like a bowl full of comfort. 

Get the recipe by clicking the link in profile at @mamaharriskitchen or just google “Mama Harris Kitchen Easy Chicken Tortilla Soup” 🍲 Enjoy!

(AD) There has been a lot of cooking going on this year, so I’ve tried to make life a bit easier by getting creative with my leftovers. These pulled pork totchos are a great example of leftovers with a few key ingredients to create something new to keep our meals exciting. Adding a few key ingredients like @lamorenausa adobo peppers and jalapeños and carrots definitely livens up something simple. La Morena peppers are hand selected, using only the highest quality peppers to bring you authentic home style flavors of Mexico. I purchased my La Morena items from my local Safeway, but you can find them at your favorite grocery store in the international food section. #PayItForwardwithLM #VivaLaMorena #WeCanWithLaMorena 
 
INGREDIENTS:
- 32 oz tater tots
- 2 cups shredded cheese (Mexican blend + Pepper Jack)
- 2 cups prepared bbq pulled pork (check my pulled pork sliders recipe!)
- 1/2 can La Morena Adobo Peppers & Sauce
- 2 tablespoons sour cream 
- 2 tablespoons ranch dressing
- 1 cup pico de Gallo
- 1/2 cup guacamole
- 3 chopped green onions 
- 3-4 La Morena jalapeños and carrots, sliced

INSTRUCTIONS:
Prepare tater tots as instructed, in air fryer or oven. Heat oven to 450°. 
Cover the bottom of a large cast iron skillet with the cooked tater tots. 
Top with 1 1/2 cup of cheese. 
Combine the chopped adobo peppers and sauce with the prepared bbq pulled pork. Spread the pulled pork mixture on top of the tater tots, then top with the remaining cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes.
Top with sour cream, ranch, pico de Gallo, guacamole, green onions, and sliced jalapeños and carrots.

Enjoy!! 😋

Happy December, all!! 🎄Since it’s basically Christmas now, it’s time to share ALL the holiday cookies! 

Every year I join my friend @natashanicholes as she heads up her #HousefulofCookies virtual cookie swap, where many of us share some sweet treats for the holiday season. 

This year I’ve created Cranberry Pistachio Citrus Cookies to share as my contribution. 🍪 I know that a lot of things have turned “virtual” throughout this year, but a little virtual bake-off is a fun way to connect with some of your favorite people!

So Thanksgiving is next week and we’re well into soup season, but I’m not willing to give up my Taco Tuesdays. 🌮 At this point we are choosing whatever makes us happy to get through the weeks, am I right? ❤️

If you’re looking for a quick dinner that’s ready in just 30 minutes, on taco Tuesday or any other day really, try my baked Turkey tacos with black beans plus all the toppings that your heart desires! 😘

Hello Instagram fam! 💖 There’s some new faces around here and it’s been a while since I showed mine!

I’m Dawn, creator of Mama Harris’ Kitchen, and I’m so glad you’re here with me! In this space I share my family-friendly recipes for all occasions, whether it be a 30-minute meal for those busy weeknight dinners or a full spread for entertaining a crowd - and everything in between.

Mama Harris’ Kitchen began back in 2012, in fact it’s 8 years this month! 🥳  What started as a way to document my newfound cooking hobby while managing my “new” life as a stay-at-home wife and mom to a 1 and 3 year along with teens and preteens, and it quickly grew into what it is now - a recipe resource for busy families like mine that enjoy flavorful and comforting home-cooking using pantry staples along with fresh and local ingredients as often as possible. 

🍿Five fun facts about me:
1. I LOVE elephants! 🐘 I collect a lot of elephant items, whether it’s trinkets or  artwork, notepads etc. I love what elephants symbolize and I truly love anything elephant related.
2. I’m a total plant lady! 🌱 I have about 35 houseplants, give or take, and there’s still more on the list of wants. Plants have become such a peaceful outlet for me, and I feel that they really center me within my space. I love the element plants bring to your space and the feel of your home with them in it, and new leaves are so exciting!
3. I have seven tattoos and I have plans for about eight more. 💉 Those that know me aren’t surprised, but those that follow me here tend to find it a bit surprising. 🙃
4. I’ve been a mother for a long time, over half my life! I’ve also been a lot of different “types” of mom - teen mom, single mom, working mom, stepmom, stay at home mom, PROUD mom, military mom, mother in law - the list goes on. No matter what, motherhood looks different for everyone and there’s unique challenges and experiences each mother faces. Please be gentle with yourself! ❤️At the end of the day we’re all just trying our best!
5. I’m a bit of an introvert, and often struggle with the “social” aspect of social media. I tend to go silent sometimes, but I’m working on it.

☀️Thank you for joining me here!
