Well, I did it. My New Year\u2019s resolution at the beginning of this year was to prepare more meals using watermelon and I achieved my goal. From Sweet & Sour Watermelon Chicken<\/a> in January to Cheesecake with Watermelon and Blueberry Sauce<\/a> in March (my personal favorite this year) to Watermelon Pizza<\/span> in August.<\/p>\n

\"7\"<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the first time I\u2019ve ever kept a resolution \u2014 yes, I\u2019ve got one last dish coming up next week \u2014 and that includes the time in college when I resolved to \u201ctake more naps.\u201d (Naps, it seems, are harder to take than you might think, especially when you live in a noisy dorm with an even noisier roommate.)<\/p>\n

As watermelon-related resolutions go, it was definitely my most successful attempt. The list of contenders includes my 2014 resolution to compete in a watermelon eating contest<\/a>, my woeful attempt in 2013 to grow my own watermelon<\/a>, and my 2012 resolution about competing in a seed-spitting contest<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And so, with 2016 just a few short weeks away, I\u2019ve turned my attention to what next year\u2019s watermelon resolution might be. I\u2019ve got a few ideas, but I\u2019m definitely interested in your suggestions. Leave a comment with which watermelon feat you think I should attempt in 2016 and I\u2019ll add it to my growing list of resolutions to consider!<\/p>\n
