Recently, we have been trying out some new melons that we have been finding at the local farmer’s markets. For instance, you can read about the Santa Claus Melon here, if you are unfamiliar with what that is. As far as other melons go, I generally eat them plain, but sometimes you just have to mix things up.

  • I just read a blog post about the goodness in watermelon as a drink - it is full of vitamins! Cantaloupe Cake sure sounds interesting

    • I have heard the same thing about watermelon. I also heard that it's good to eat if you are anemic because it helps your body absorb iron, though I am not sure if that's true or not.

  • YUM! I have tried the salsa before or one like it, and it was so good! Those slushy drinks look pretty good too!

  • I used to love watermelon when I lived in the south. I am not sure what the deal is but since moving to the north it just doesn't taste the same to me. I love it in its raw form, but haven't ever been a fan of watermelon based things.

    • I can't say that I have tasted one from the north. Next time I travel there, I will have to try one to see the difference.

  • Those all look delicious! I love watermelon so much! We get fresh squeezed watermelon juice from a local market and it is amazing! So refreshing on a hot day!

    • Me too! And I generally have to when I buy one. No one else in my house will hardly eat it. *gasp*

      I am not sure what's wrong with them.
