A round-up of some of our favourite recipes and food-related features from the past week:

Margarita Frozen Pops

The first of two Margarita-based recipes featured this week, these pops can be made alcohol-free for the kids. As Elizabeth Karmel writes, “Just be sure to use two different shaped moulds so the pops don’t get mixed up!”
