All about watermelon.





Self-made dress; Forever 21 shoes; Dynamite belt

Let's take this post to talk about watermelon.

If you know me at all, you know I have a food obsession. Yes, it's probably unhealthy. No, it'll never change. I love my food. I eat what I love. I don't care. Moving on.

Watermelon is the fruit of the summer. I could eat half a watermelon in a sitting - I have done it before. And I'm talking a serious watermelon, not one of those mini baby things. My favourite way to eat it is cut up in chunks with a fork because I hate getting my hands sticky, but there are a few other ways I must try:

1. Watermelon/Strawberry Slush. This looks amazing and extremely refreshing, especially on super hot days.

2. In a salad. I've had something similar at a restaurant and it was the perfect mix of flavours. I need to re-create this at home!

3. Who doesn't love their tortilla chips? Well here's a recipe for some watermelon salsa. Sounds seriously awesome.

So if you don't like watermelon, sorry about this whole post. You won't have learned anything very exciting. If you love watermelon like me, I hope you enjoyed some of my links and maybe we can have a cook-off and introduce new ways of eating watermelon into each others lives?

Do you have a favourite summer fruit?

    First, I am SO impressed that you made this dress yourself! It's really cute!

    Watermelon is delicious in the summer! Come to think of it, I don't think I've had any at all this year...I need to change that.

    Funny you love watermelon so much. It doesn't have much of a taste to me so I almost never eat it. But I am currently obsessing over mango and plums. Love them!

      Thanks! Actually I linked to the post that I wrote about it last year - I think I have a link from there to the blog I got the pattern off of.
      And I guess I've got myself some competition. Your son's appetite is impressive!!

      Thanks! I made it myself :) I don't tackle making clothing very often, so I would consider this one a success :)

    You made that dress?? It's awesome! And watermelon is also a favourite summer fruit of mine - as long as it's seedless :)

      Thanks! :) And yes, it MUST be seedless. Nothing worse than biting down on a big black seed to ruin the enjoyment of the watermelon itself!

    Self made dress???!!! Wow I'm so impressed- it's adorable! That's too funny because my man and I took a cooking class last night and made watermelon slushies- so delicious and refreshing! They are his fave fruit, I'm quite partial to mango myself :)
