Hey Kath! Just FYI, that Alexandra’s Kitchen recipe doesn’t actually contain watermelon. It is “watermelon radish” not “watermelon, radish”. It still look likes a beautiful recipe though – as per usual with the stuff Alexandra cooks!
Elyse says
Yum! I’ll definitely try the Popsicles!
I went MANY years thinking I hated watermelon only to discover I loved it! My husband and I eat at least 2 or 3 large watermelons a week in the summer!
Erin @ Her Heartland Soul says
I LOVE watermelon! These recipes look great!
Carol says
I don’t think there’s watermelon in the first recipe…..it’s actually watermelon radish.
Ashley @ Saving Money in your Twenties says
Ugh, I have had ZERO watermelon this summer and I am so sad about it!! I keep saying I’m going to go get a watermelon, then I forget… haha need to do that before it goes out of season! 😉
Amanda says
I had no idea that watermelon was so high in vitamin A! I’ve noticed that when my vitamin A intake is high, my skin is super clear- time to pick up some watermelon today!
Jean says
Your first recipe doesn’t actually have watermelon in it, but rather watermelon radish! Still tasty, but FYI:)
Kristabel says
For years I avoided watermelon because I considered it an annoyance to cut up and I was always scared that I would pick a gross gritty one. Last summer I decided to give it another try and I am glad I did! Worth the effort and the gamble maybe getting a gritty one. Watermelon has been a summer staple in our home. Looking forward to trying a few of the recipes! Thanks!
Alex @ get big, go to work says
Such an awesome roundup of recipes! I just recently heard of yellow watermelon-has pretty much the same taste, but the color definitely left me a bit confused for a minute.
Cassie says
These look great! The watermelon popsicles are my favorite!
Wendy says
The first recipe isn’t actually watermelon! Looks pretty though.
Heidi kokborg says
The watermelon lemonade looks sooo good! And so refreshing in the heat!
Alex says
Can you clarify the nutritional deterioration after seven days of storage? Is this from the moment it hits the grocery shelf? The delivery truck? Your house?
