These are very simple to make… the bad thing is you want to eat them right away!! The cherries have to set for TWO weeks at a minimum so that the vanilla cream will liquefy.

Jack Daniel’s Distillery Lynchburg, TN
This summer we were close enough to the Jack Daniel’s Distillery to stop in for a tour. The tours are free and run approximately 40 minutes. Our guide was knowledgable and witty and we had a fantastic time. We walked up and down stairs, through hallways and tunnels, in and out of buildings. The smell was fantastic through the whole tour. Yes, I said the SMELL! It smelled like roasted sweet corn. While neither one of us drink whiskey we really enjoyed the tour!

Pumpkin Pie Popsicles! 2 WW PP each!
Pumpkin Pie Popsicles! I was walking around my favorite store: IKEA. I came across these cute popsicle molds (below). I have never made home-made popsicle so when I got home I decided to see what I could mix together to make some with. I found pumpkin and a few other ingredients.

I figure making…
