This summer sure has been a scorcher in much of the United States! It seems that most of my friends have been suffering with temps well into the 90's or even over 100°. Here in beautiful NE Ohio, we have been lucky, overall. Sure, we have had a few hot days, but for the most part, this summer has been gorgeous, with temps in the upper 70's or low 80's. Yep. I don't miss the Virginia heat one bit!

Anyway, during the summer, we spend a lot of time outdoors. Whether we're playing on the playground, grilling, or just enjoying the nice weather on the deck, we love connecting as a family outdoors any chance we get.

One thing we definitely love to do is snack. During the warmer months, my kids love frozen treats above all else. Of course being the Junk Food Nazi that I am, I try and find more wholesome alternatives to the goods that our local Ice Cream Man has to offer on his truck.

Thankfully, making delicious, creamy, frozen treats is easy, thanks to Yoplait® Yogurt! You can find a wide variety of Yoplait® Yogurt varieties at your local Walmart stores, including Original, Light, Greek, and my kids' favorite, Gogurt®.

I'd love to share an easy-peasy recipe that takes your favorite Yoplait® Yogurt to a whole new level of deliciousness. Oh, it's got a secret ingredient that makes it feel a little bit "gourmet" for all of you Foodies out there!

Just grab some Yoplait® Yogurt, in any variety you'd like. I would have loved to use Vanilla, but our Walmart was out of stock. I picked up a large container of Yoplait® Original Strawberry Banana, and it worked perfectly. Feel free to be creative and change up the flavors to your liking. Snacking should be fun, after all!

Then add a handful of fresh raspberries and about 2 teaspoons of finely chopped, fresh Basil. Yes, you read that correctly. I want you to add fresh herbs to your yogurt. Just trust me here. Berries and Basil complement each other beautifully, and the Basil gives these frozen yogurt pops an unexpected hit of freshness.

Just mix your Yoplait® Yogurt, raspberries, and basil together. Then carefully spoon it into the frozen treat mold of your choice. (I purchased this one at World Market, and it is fabulous!)

Add them to the freezer for about an hour. Then, pull them out and add your popsicle sticks. This will help ensure that they will freeze properly and not fall apart when you try to remove the pops from the mold.

Return your frozen yogurt pops to the freezer for another 3 hours or so. I have found that 4 hours of "chill time" is enough to freeze them completely. Of course, you could choose to leave them in even longer, if desired. In my home, the kids seem to watch the clock and they let me know when it's time for their treats to be done.

Once your Berry Basil Frozen Yogurt Pops are done, carefully remove them from the mold. I am not going to lie.....This can be tricky. You can either leave them out for about 10 minutes before removing them, or you can even submerge the mold into warm water for a few moments to make removal easier. Otherwise, they can be difficult to remove. This is true with any frozen treats, of course. In my haste to satisfy my kids and end their begging, I tried to pull them right out immediately, and it caused a couple to break. Lesson learned!

Then, all there is to do is eat them and enjoy. My kids absolutely FLIPPED for these wholesome summer snacks. They loved the creaminess of the Yoplait® Yogurt, and the fresh berries and basil were a wonderful addition.

I know...Basil and yogurt? Sure, it's a wee bit unconventional, but it's simply delicious. My 4 year old, Xander, devoured his pop and then pleaded for seconds!

If you'd like to try these sensational seasonal Yoplait® Yogurt snacks, here's my recipe:

How do you enjoy your yogurt? Do you freeze it for refreshing snacks like this one? Maybe you eat it with granola and fresh fruit? You can also use yogurt for some fabulous dips and even savory dishes! The possibilities are endless!

Welcome to the

Dr. Buzby's ToeGrips Sweepstakes

Sponsored by Dr. Buzby's ToeGrips

Organized by Budget Earth

Do you have a senior dog in your home? How about one struggling with arthritis or special needs? While Reya and Ivi are young, my family dealt with the struggles of senior dogs while I was growing up. None of us like to see our babies age, especially when they start struggling with mobility and joint issues. Families with dogs with arthritis or hip dysplasia know this all too well, especially when they see their dogs slipping and sliding on hardwood or linoleum floors. Even if you put down rugs and special beds to help them, dogs often seem to prefer laying on cold, hard floors. While this isn't a problem for many younger dogs, senior dogs can quickly find themselves trapped and unable to get up without assistance. For dog owners, this can be heartbreaking, especially when we know our dogs want their independence. Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could give our senior dogs back some of their mobility? Luckily, we recently discovered the perfect solution - Dr. Buzby's ToeGrips. These specially designed rubber rings go over your dog's nails, allowing them to once again use their paws with traction. You see, a dog's natural mechanism for gaining traction on a slippery surface is to flex their paws and engage their nails. In the wild or outside, your dog's claws act more like cleats on shoes, allowing them to have extra traction to avoid injury or slipping on slippery, smooth, or wet surfaces. As our furry friends get older, senior dogs and dogs with arthritis struggle due to muscular weakness, joint disease, and slower reflexes, ending with them slipping or unable to get up from slippery floors. With ToeGrips, they can once again have the traction they need to move about freely on hardwood floors - or any smooth, slippery surface. What are some of the things you can expect from Dr. Buzby's ToeGrips? Dogs who use this product have been shown to have:

• Improved mobility & stability
• Increased confidence
• Reduced risk of slips & fall injuries

Best of all, Dr. Buzby's ToeGrips comes with no hassle, money back guarantee. While there are dozens of testimonials of how ToeGrips have helped other dogs, they do understand that not all dogs are the same. If they do not work for your dog, just return any remaining ToeGrips and your original packaging within 60 days of purchase and they will refund your purchase (less shipping). Their team is passionate about what they make, and they are confident that they have one of the best products out there and are proud to help senior dogs or dogs with special needs have a better quality of life! Want to purchase a set of their ToeGrips for your own dog? You can buy Dr. Buzby's ToeGrips on their website for only $29.95 in one of seven sizes. As well, each size comes in its own unique color, making life easier on dog owners who own senior dogs of different sizes.

To learn more, check out Dr Buzby's ToeGrips on Social Media!

Want to know something even cooler? Dr. Buzby's ToeGrips want to help a family bring mobility and quality of life back to a senior dog or dog with special needs. One very lucky reader will have a chance to try Dr. Buzby's ToeGrips for themselves in the size that is the best fit for their own dog.
