Tattooed Watermelon

Yes, it's a thing. It's what happens when you grill watermelon; it makes it look likes it's been tattooed. But it's delicious. You can't see the tattoos on ours in the picture, but the faint lines are there!

Tattooed Watermelon

Slice a watermelon into thick slices. Brush with some olive oil (but not too much! You don't want it greasy!), and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill over medium high heat about 2 minutes per side. Watch it carefully. If it gets too hot, the liquid will gush out, and nobody wants that! Serve. Enjoy!

Blueberry Melon Salad

July is National Blueberry Month, among other things. I tend to associate blueberries with August (specifically August 1), but I will never turn down blueberries any time. They are just so good!

When my family went on a picnic the other day, I had already made a fruit salad, but when I came upon this one, I thought, what the heck? I was already making two pasta salads, why not two fruit salads as well? You can never have too much food for a picnic, after all.

Blueberry Melon Salad with Thyme

1 c. stevia
1/4 c. water
Juice from one lemon
4 sprigs of thyme
3 c. each cantaloupe, honeydew melon and watermelon, cut into chunks
One pint of blueberries

Mix the fruit together in one large bowl. In a small pot over low heat, mix the stevia, water and lemon. Stir until the stevia has dissolved. Remove from heat. Once cooled, pour over the fruit and mix well to coat. Refrigerate.

Enjoy!
