What We Did With Watermelon

About a month ago, Dan brought in a whole wheelbarrow full of watermelons (didn't get a pic of that). We stored them in the basement so they would last longer, but really, how many watermelons can one family eat? They had seeds in them, so the kids did not eat as much as they otherwise would have. So we gave some away and then I started to look for things to do with them. We tried watermelon smoothies, but I think the recipe wasn't that great, because they didn't taste very good.

I made watermelon salsa, which was yummy. Basically you just substitute watermelon for the tomatoes in your favorite fresh salsa recipe.


I also found a recipe for Watermelon Muffins. They were good, but did not taste like watermelon.


I had doubled the muffin recipe and put half in a loaf pan. The very middle did not get all the way done, but otherwise it was good also. Of course, anything with chocolate chips in it ought to be yummy!
