Watermelon Pizza

Happy National Watermelon Day! 

I love watermelon. And it’s the perfect refreshing summer treat.

I grew up eating watermelon during the summer watching my mom sprinkle it with a little bit of salt. At first I was completely disgusted by the idea until I gave it a try for myself. Watermelon has the perfect amount of sweetness to be paired with something salty.

I saw this idea for the perfect sweet and salty watermelon pair on skinnytaste (a favorite recipe website) and wanted to give it a try. My sister made it for our July 4th party and it was a hit. Even the kids were eating it!

For the full recipe, visit Gina’s website. We switched out arugula instead of mint. And I definitely recommend using the balsamic glaze she recommends as it is delicious!

With the simple ingredients of:

  • Watermelon
  • Balsamic Glaze
  • Feta
  • Kalamata Olives
  • Arugula

You can have an easy and delicious watermelon pizza!

Why I’m Happy Wednesday: 5

IMG_5021

It’s Wednesday, which means it’s time to share the happy things that are going on in your lives. We start our drive down south tomorrow and this face you see above, will be her face for the next month. Our first stop is in Hilton Head, SC where my entire family will be spending for a week vacation. We’ve been going to Hilton Head every summer since I was born, but this is the first year in about 10 years that we’ve all gone together with the entire family. To say I am excited is an understatement.

We will then drive down to my parents house in Florida and then back up to North Carolina to spend time with my in-laws. I love being able to spend quality time with family. It’s so good for the heart.

Now tell me something good. Something that’s made you happy. It can be big, it can be small, just something that has put a smile on your face. You can participate by sharing a photo on Wednesday with the hashtag #WhyImHappyWednesday and tagging me @amommyinthecity or feel free to write it in the comments below. I do read them all and am happy to reply back on your good news! You can also join in the conversation on my Facebook page!

Also, to spread the happiness, I’m giving you the chance to with one of TWO $500 Amazon Gift Cards. Enter here.
