If you have grown up in just about any state in the US - you know, one of summertime's favorite treats is Watermelon!! Watermelons have become synonymous with summer and it's not an accident.
This sweet fruit, with it's thirst quenching, heat battling chunks, were always a favorite when I was growing up and as a Mom myself, I don't feel any guilt in serving up this low maintenance, healthy summertime nosh to my own kids - better than chips or ice cream...
okay, sorry - no, nothing is better than ice cream - but you know what I mean!
So, with the first day of Summer being yesterday, I think it's a perfect time to share my Watermelon Tech Bag - an homage to this delectable, hot weather favorite.
