It just feels good to eat cold juicy watermelon as a snack on a hot day rather than a dry pack of snack food. The watermelon actually cools you down while nurishing you. And saves you some time in the kitchen when the sun and the pool are calling your name.
I have really been trying to stay out of the grocery store this summer for a few reasons (more on that later) so we visit the farmers market, use our CSA share weekly and just toss it all together.
The results are things like todays lunch (watermelon, fresh corn and mini maters (as Sophia calls them), farm made cheese and crackers. if your not convinced, it really does satisfy
Or last nights dinner salad of fresh picked lettuce, radish, corn, early zukes, black beans, salsa with Pita chips. It just seems to make the body work better in the heat, when all you want to do is lay around
And for those who always wonder and ask about protein, I found this that really sums it up. Alicia Silverstone really has some good resources and knows her stuff on the topic. She is very "granola' and extremely vegan down to not using or wearing leather goods. So you will feel that she is a little preachy but put that aside and enjoy.
