RECIPE: WATERMELON CRUNCH SALSA

I’m the kind of guy who can’t eat chips without some sort of dip to go with them. There, I said it. It feels good to get that off my chest, but it’s out there now, and I can’t take it back. If I’m eating potato chips, I need a french onion dip or a creamy ranch dip along for the ride. For tortilla … [Read more...]

RECIPE: WATERMELON RIND, CARROT AND PINEAPPLE SLAW

It’s no secret that watermelon is my favorite fruit (after all, I am “The Watermelon Guy”), but if I had to choose a second favorite, it would definitely be pineapple. So sweet, so juicy, so flavorful. Now that I think about it, those are the same reasons I love watermelon! Pineapple and … [Read more...]

RECIPE: GREEK PITA FLATBREAD

I remember back in the 80s (or was it the 90s?) when pita bread first became popular. I loved it. Couldn’t get enough of it. I’d fill it full of turkey and cheese, egg salad, even peanut butter and jelly. Pretty much anything you’d put between two pieces of bread, I tried putting in a pita … [Read more...]

RECIPE: THE WATERMELON ZAPPER

My wife recently added a fancy, high-powered blender to our kitchen arsenal, which means we’ll be making all sorts of blended things in the near future. One of those things is a drink known as the Watermelon Zapper. The Zapper is one of the newer recipes on the National Watermelon Promotion … [Read more...]

RECIPE: GRILLED CHEESE WITH WATERMELON AND ARUGULA

Is there anything better on a lazy Sunday afternoon than a grilled cheese sandwich and some tomato soup? I don’t think there is, which is why I was excited to make this recipe. The only thing is, I couldn’t wait for a lazy Sunday, so I made it on a moderately-busy Saturday. Guess what? Whether you … [Read more...]

RECIPE: WATERMELON POMEGRANATE TOSSED SALAD

There are super foods (foods packed with health benefits), and then there are superhero foods, which are usually recipes made with one or more super foods. This Watermelon Pomegranate Tossed Salad is one of those superheroes. According to the National Watermelon Promotion Board website, this … [Read more...]

RECIPE: WATERMELON AND SPICY MAYAN DARK CHOCOLATE FONDUE

Remember fondue? It’s been around for awhile – originating in Switzerland, France, and Italy in the 19th century – but it didn’t arrive in the United States until the 1960s. The communal dish involves a pot, usually filled with melted cheese, but sometimes melted chocolate, into which people dip … [Read more...]

WHICH OF THESE NEW RECIPES AND CARVINGS SHOULD I MAKE THIS YEAR?

As a self-described “watermelon geek,” one of the things I look forward to the most every year is when the National Watermelon Promotion Board (NWPB) updates its website in January with new recipes and new carvings. The main reason for my excitement is because I know I’ll be making some of those … [Read more...]

RECIPE: WATERMELON MUFFIN CRUMBLE PARFAIT

You know, I’ve always been on the fence about muffins. To me, they’re like a cupcake without the icing. And since the icing is the best part of a cupcake, what does that say about the appeal of muffins? Then again, you can eat muffins for breakfast, so maybe they’re the closest thing you can get to … [Read more...]

RECIPE: PANCAKES WITH WATERMELON, LIME AND BLUEBERRY COULIS

What caught my eye about this recipe were the words “pancakes” and “watermelon.” Some of you might remember the Watermelon Stacked Pancakes I made last year. In that entry, I revealed that pancakes are a common Sunday morning meal at The Watermelon Guy’s house (about three times a month), so it’s … [Read more...]
