Our Favorite Summer Snack

Hands down, Watermelon is my favorite fruit.

You could call it an obsession. It started when I was pregnant with Kate.
It was the summer of 2006 and I was in my first trimester & couldn't keep anything down.
And, it was a hot summer. Like really, really, really hot.
The only things I could keep down were cereal and watermelon.
I would eat about 1 watermelon a week.

I would buy a watermelon at the store & when I get home I chop it up into chunks.
And then store it in a huge tupperware and put it in the fridge.
All week long, I when I was craving watermelon, I would open the fridge & snag some watermelon chunks. Refreshing.

Now, everytime I buy a watermelon, I immediately chop it up and put it in my tupperware in the fridge. It is the best way to store a watermelon and it is a no-fuss snack for my girls.
They also LOVE watermelon. It doesn't surprise me that they love it because I ate SO much of it during both of their pregnancies!

After I chop up my watermelon, I put 4 cups aside and put it in the freezer.
Why would I do that?
To make Watermelon Daiquiri's (of course!)
Here is what you need:

Watermelon Daiquiris:

4 cups cubed watermelon, frozen

1/2 cup watermelon rum

1/3 cup orange juice

4 T lime juice
(You can use Watermelon Vodka instead of Rum if you want)

Put everything in the blender.

Blend it up & pour it in a glass.

It's more fun when you add a straw & an umbrella!
Delicious & Refreshing!
Enjoy!
