My mother-in-law hates me a little bit right now because not too long ago I got the opportunity to meet the “Queen of Southern Cuisine” and Food Network megastar, Mrs. Paula Deen, who was in town for a charity event. My meet-and-greet with her definitely made my mother-in-law jealous (she’s a huge Paula fan).
I wanted to feature one of Paula’s best watermelon recipes today, but I soon discovered that narrowing the list of her watermelon creations down to just one would be a challenge. Instead, I’m featuring several recipes (or links to the recipes), which you can drool over below. Enjoy!
- Paula’s Easy Watermelon Dessert – It’s basically watermelon cubes drizzled with a sweet and salty pineapple juice mixture. If it sounds incredible, that’s because it is.
- Watermelon Salad with Mint Leaves – In this recipe, Paula takes the classic watermelon-and-feta cheese combo to a whole new level.
- Watermelon punch – This is sort of like the “Easy Watermelon Dessert” above, only in beverage form. In other words, it’s a tall glass of “awesome” while you relax with friends, family…or peacefully by yourself.
