AUGUST POLL: IN WHAT WAYS DO YOU ENJOY WATERMELON?

I’ve talked in the past about the many ways to enjoy watermelon, beyond the usual wedges and chunks. Don’t get me wrong: there’s absolutely nothing wrong with chomping on an ice-cold watermelon wedge on a hot summer day, but I guarantee that you’ll love watermelon even more once you expand your … [Read more...]

RECIPE: WATERMELON PANCAKE SANDWICHES

I love making pancakes almost as much I love eating them. It’s pretty much a regular Sunday morning ritual in our house, and I’m the one happily wielding the spatula. About 90 percent of the time, they’re the regular hotcakes drenched in butter and syrup, but every now and then, I’ll mix it up … [Read more...]

THIRSTY? IT’S NATIONAL DRINK WATERMELON DAY!

Last week, I wrote about July 24 and how the National Climactic Data Center has declared it the hottest day of the year. Will there be hotter days in August in your area? Maybe, but the temperature nationwide (on average) is higher today than any other day of the year. With that heat wave in … [Read more...]

RECIPE: WATERMELON S’MORES

What’s better than s’mores? How ‘bout s’mores made with watermelon? Yes, you read that correctly. S’mores…made with watermelon. Our three-year-old loves s’mores. It’s her favorite part of any camping trip and, to be honest, it’s probably my favorite part, too. This past weekend, in lieu of … [Read more...]

SECOND SLICE: HOW TO TAKE YOUR WATERMELON TO THE NEXT LEVEL

I’ve eaten approximately 47,000 watermelons in my 37 years, which makes me sort of an expert on eating watermelon. Don’t bother doing the math; just trust me that it’s true. Having eaten so many watermelons, I’ll be the first to admit that, occasionally, you get one that seems to be missing a little … [Read more...]

RECIPE: SIMPLE WATERMELON PEACH SMOOTHIE

Watermelon is undoubtedly the fruit of choice when temperatures start to climb. (Or all year round, if you’re like me.) But why limit watermelon to just its original form? There are plenty of ways to infuse the sweet flavor of watermelon into other summertime treats as well. Like I mentioned last … [Read more...]

RECIPE: WATERMELON MINT LEMONADE COCKTAIL

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...]
