My watermelon intake has gone to an unhealthy level and there’s no intention of stopping. The day I turn red, then maybe I’ll cut back.

Typically, I just cut the melon in half and take a spoon to it. I don’t waste time cutting it up.

Although we’re not going anything crazy this 4th of July, unless you call unpacking crazy…  I was inspired by this awesome idea and my current  obsession to make this watermelon lemonade with blueberry skewers in spirit of the 4th. It was the perfect refreshment, that I drank both servings.

Please, by all means, feel free to add vodka or tequila to this. Then have another for me.
