Top o’ the mornin’ to ya! That was my less-than-impressive Irish accent in honor of St. Patrick’s Day.

With all my talk about a New Year’s resolution, I inspired my wife to start her own resolution for 2016.

So far, in my New Year’s resolution to prepare more meals using watermelon, I’ve prepared a main course (sweet and sour watermelon chicken) and a soup (watermelon gazpacho).

RECIPE: WATERMELON BENEDICT
According to some folks, there aren’t many breakfast foods that are as easy and simply delicious as Eggs Benedict. Most people love the dish for the hollandaise sauce, which is a rich, creamy mixture of egg yolk and butter. I, on the other hand, am not a big fan of egg yolks, which is why I’ve … [Read more...]
