When I was pregnant there was nothing I craved more than
fresh fruit. When summer hit and I was big as a house (little B was born at the
beginning of August) and the heat began to roll in I probably ate my weight in watermelon
which was a big feat considering how large and in charge I was by the end.
Even though I usually ate chunks the tasty treat by the bowl
I did have a couple of favorite watermelon recipes on hand which I promise to
share throughout the summer. For now, I have to feature this DELICIOUSLY
refreshing watermelon salad shared by one of my favorite play group mamas the
other day. The mix of lime and basil in the dressing really brings out the
sweetness in the melon and had me craving more like I was 8 months pregnant
again.
