Watermelon

May 09

I love it. For me, it’s the perfect spring/summer snack. It’s light, virtually no calories and 92% of it is water. Simply delicious and helps you to stay hydrated.

I’d love to grow my own watermelons, but I haven’t really looked into the whole process of planting and growing them.

For now, I’ll just get some from the shop. Easier and less messy.

Here’s a yummy watermelon recipe I found on watermelon.org:

Watermelon Cherry Mojito

 

3 fresh mint sprigs, chopped

1/4 cup watermelon puree

1 tsp cherry syrup

3 Tablespoons fresh limejuice

2 oz light rum

Chilled sparkling water

1 sugar cane stirrer

1 lime wedge

 

Using a fork, press the mint with the back of a fork to coat the inside of the glass and leave it in the glass. Add the watermelon puree, cherry syrup, limejuice and rum. Stir well. Top with ice. Top-off the glass with sparkling water or club soda. Add the sugar cane stirrer and lime wedge to the glass and serve. Serves 1.

Hot right now are grapes, avocados, pineapples, limes, easy peel citrus.

Frozen grapes - I’ve been anxiously waiting for winter to pass to try this, quite summery food. I think this will make an excellent snack this spring/summer: toss your grapes in the freezer and eat them once they are frozen.

Avocados - not just temporarily hot… I eat all year round. Mainly in sandwiches or salads. They are yum and full of nutritional goodness.

Pineapples - I love em’. One of the healthiest foods you can eat. Try them as a salsa or make a Pizza “Hawaii”.

Limes - supposedly fantastic for detoxifying the body. I have yet to try them and I’m really curious.

Easy peel citrus - makes a great snack but too much of those make me sick.
