Simply.... Music

This is the truth be told. 
Hello today, I hope you're living simply, yes? 
So, I've been thinking about music lately. 
Good music.
Bad music.
Hip-hop.
Rock.
Instruments.
Bands.
Singers.
Groups.
Songs.
Sings.
Song-a-sings.
Sing-a-longs.
And, I thought... why not ask everyone else's opinion on music?
If you have any songs you'd like to share, please do so!! Music is my inspiration, my life, and I hope it's yours too.

Good music.

I think you get the point.

Mango Lassi Popsicles

FACT: Pictures and stories aren't the only ones to have an impact on this blog! Recipes are a HUGE part of living simply. 


Mango Lassi Popsicles
These pops are absolutely a favorite! Creamy and fruity, this refreshing sweet is a must-have during summer. But they're so good, I'd say year round!


Ingredients: 
1 large mango 
1/4 cup orange juice
1 1/2 cups vanilla or plain yogurt
3 tbsp. sugar


Directions: Peel the mango and take out the pit; discard pit. Puree mango and orange juice in a food processor or blender. In a medium-large bowl, stir the yogurt until smooth and creamy. Stir in the sugar. Then add the mango mixture. Stir until smooth. Freeze in popsicle molds for 3-8 hours. 
Enjoy your Mango Lassi Pops!
