Nothing says summer like outdoor parties. That includes good food, good music, good friends and, of course, good drinks. I like all four (usually with an emphasis on good food), but, during a cookout last week, I decided to pay a little extra attention to the good drinks. So, I grabbed some of … [Read more...]
RECIPE: WATERMELON BARBEQUE SAUCE
May is National Barbeque Month, which makes sense because May also includes Memorial Day which, in my opinion, is the unofficial start of summer and grillin’ season. Of course, I don’t need good weather or a national holiday to convince me to fire up my grill. Even though I live in Pennsylvania, … [Read more...]
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...]
