Like last year, my plan this month is to feature a new recipe each Friday. The goal, of course, is to arm my fellow watermelon lovers with ideas for dishes to create on Thanksgiving (whether you’re a host or a guest). Today’s recipe is an appetizer, which is one of my favorite parts of the Turkey … [Read more...]
RECIPE: WATERMELON BREAKFAST LASAGNA
When I saw the name of this recipe, I knew I’d love it. The only thing I love more than watermelon is lasagna, and I’ve also been known to indulge in breakfast from time to time, so that makes this creation a culinary dream come true for me. The National Watermelon Promotion Board website … [Read more...]

RECIPE: WATERMELON-STACKED BREAKFAST PANCAKES
I love pancakes. That’s actually an understatement. I can’t get enough of them. When I make pancakes – usually on a Saturday or Sunday morning, though sometimes for dinner during the week – I almost always make way too many of them. I’ve also been known to experiment by throwing random … [Read more...]
RECIPE: CHICKEN IN A WATERMELON

RECIPE: WATERMELON STEAK
Recently, a friend sent me an e-mail with a subject line that read simply “thought you’d like this!” The body of the e-mail was a link – nothing else. I clicked on the link and what greeted me on the other side was a curious culinary concoction known as the watermelon steak. The watermelon steak … [Read more...]
RECIPE: WATERMELON JELLY LOGS
Every now and then I like to post a kid-friendly recipe here on What About Watermelon under the guise that I’m doing it for all the parents out there who are looking for a fun recipe to make with their kids.

SUPER SUNDAY RECIPE #2 – WATERMELON GLAZED MINI BARBEQUE MEATBALLS
There’s really nothing you can’t love about the name of this recipe. Watermelon? (Awesome.) Glazed? (Bring it!) Mini? (Okay, bigger is usually better when it comes to food, but let’s move on.) Barbeque? (Keep talkin’.) Meatballs? (Are you kidding? You had me at “watermelon.”) Since the crock pot … [Read more...]
SUPER SUNDAY RECIPE #3 – PULLED PORK AND WATERMELON BARBEQUE SAUCE
Here’s another four ingredient recipe that would make a good addition to a football party buffet line. Did I mention this recipe includes two cans of beer? I don’t think I need to say any more.
