I am so excited to be sharing one of my favorite tried-and-true kitchen how-to’s with you today! Because, if you’re anything like me, summer means only one thing: watermelon season.
As far as I’m concerned, it isn’t summer unless I’m shoveling watermelon into my mouth at least once a week. Growing up, when I had somebody who would lovingly chop this difficult-to-cut fruit for me (thanks, Mama Fooduzzi!), I absolutely hated the stuff. I just didn’t appreciate watermelon’s unique texture as a kid. A few years ago, however, something just clicked. Now, I can’t get enough of this refreshing, sweet, delectable fruit! Eaten plain, in salads, in smoothies…I crave the watermelon bad.
Those cravings were quickly put on hold when I realized just how gosh-darn difficult it is to extract that juicy pink fruit from its tough exterior. I went watermelon-less for much too long. And let me tell you from experience, a life without watermelon is just plain sad.
A couple of weeks ago, I was watching Food Network’s The Kitchen, when one of the hosts demonstrated this method of chopping a watermelon. To say it was brilliant would be a morbid understatement. After just a few swift cuts, you can have your perfectly extracted watermelon in a bowl, waiting for your eager fork to dig right in. Guys, this kitchen hack will change your entire summer: watermelon in under a minute. Is this real life?! Read on for some step-by-step photos, a Pinnable image, and video, all showing you just how it’s done!Read More
Hi! Happy 4th of July!
I’m going to keep this Stupid Awesome Saturday recipe roundup nice-n-short due to the fact that I want to be spending time with my friends and family on this joyous, food-filled holiday. Because, seriously, is there anything better?
Even though the 4th of July is somewhat of a tradition (ha), we don’t really have a plan of attack for the foodage that will be served at our picnic. This is why, dear reader, I have assembled this ultimate list of last minute 4th of July recipes for the classic procrastinator. Because sometimes, we just don’t have our you-know-what together enough to put together a meal worthy of such a joyous occasion. All of these recipes require minimal prep-time, giving you ample time to relax, spend time with loved ones, and indulge in your flavorful festive food.
There are some interesting dessert recipes floating through the interwebs:
Black bean brownies, chickpea blondies, lentil cookies…it seems like people are putting anything in desserts these days.Read More
I’m a huge sucker for traditions.
One of my favorite family traditions is putting up the Christmas tree the Saturday after Thanksgiving. Whilst listening to Christmas tunes and watching The Grinch that night. We do this every year. Religiously. Come hell or high water.
One year, however, I made plans with a friend to go Christmas shopping. My dad needed to utter but four words to make me instantly cancel these plans in favor of a garland and ornament-filled day: “But it’s a tradition…”Read More
