Watermelon, Watermelon and More Watermelon

Watermelon and Summer are best friends, don't you think? For us, nothing says 'Summer' quite like a wedge of cold watermelon, eaten outside so that the juice can run down your arm and drip off your elbow into the grass.

Yes, this is all very 'childhood' but, if you are like me, you don't really like all that stickiness. So, when I saw this revolutionary way of eating watermelon the other day on Pinterest, I couldn't wait to try it out. THUMBS UP!!!! This is definitely an un-messy way to eat a wedge of watermelon!

Make a small incision in the middle of the watermelon rind and insert a popsicle stick into the slit. No more messy, juicy fingers!

This summer, we have been getting very adventurous with our watermelon and have discovered some cool ways to enjoy it.

Our favorite so far has been our watermelon smoothies. They are THE BEST!!

Blend together two cups of watermelon, a spoonful of sugar, a cup of milk and a cup of ice. Pour into a glass... add a little whipped cream, a mini wedge of watermelon, a bendable straw and a fancy cocktail umbrella and Voila!  You'll feel like you are on a beach in Ko Samui!

Do you have any nice watermelon recipes to share?

I think you'll also enjoy the Banana Popsicles we made recently...

And, don't forget to enter our Fairy Garden Contest that closes tomorrow!

Blessings and magic,
