Cravings: Snow Cones

posted on: Wednesday, April 11, 2012

I've been craving snow cones like a crazy woman lately. What do I do when this urge hits me? I pintrest and google search recipes and places. I couldn't NOT share these links and treats that I found! Enjoy! 

I found this from my new FAV food blog! Ah! Beware, when you venture onto The Kitchy Kitchen your stomach will start to talk to you!

1 pint strawberries, quartered
2 tablespoons basil, torn (about 4 large leaves)
1/2 cup sugar
Pinch of salt
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 pint coconut water (from a box is fine)

For instructions on how to make this yummy treat go to THE KITCHY KITCHEN!


Ah! This little gem of a sweet spot has me envious of every soul that lives in Kansas City. They make 100% natural gourmet snow cone syrups and have the yummiest sounding flavors. I'm hosting a baby shower for one of my dearest friends this summer and what I would give to have them cater it. Wouldn't that be the coolest? Kate, doesn't this look freaking amazing? Sigh.  ;)

    Ohh...Wish I had thought of snow cones when I was pregnant with my son! I craved freezies the whole time. It was the only thing that helped my awful heart burn.
    They look amazing :)

    You are a girl after my own heart. I crave sno cones all. the. time. however, I'm not pregnant. They might just be my second favorite thing on the planet. Popcorn is my first in case you were wondering.......you probably weren't.

    So, this looks amazing... I might have to get one of those snow cone makers from walmart now :) I'm super jealous of everyone in Kansas City too! My mom and siblings live there, I'm in Minnesota... not fair!

    WOW! I Love it. I haven't seen anything like this before (although there's probably something similar in Portland). It's still way to cold here for sno-cones but I can't wait for them already. Happy cravings.

    HEY! I AM in KC ... but I've never seen this place. I'd love to go seeking it this weekend. Any clues? What is it called? Is it stationary?
