Watermelon Juice

Now that it's officially Fall (woohoo!!), I'm finally getting around to posting about one of my favorite little treats that I discovered this summer - Watermelon Juice!

I've always loved watermelon, so it's no wonder I love the juice just at much! I had just never really thought about making watermelon into a juice. One of my amazing co-workers is the one that gave me the idea! Now that I've done it, I'm sad that I hadn't discovered the refreshing amazingness of it sooner! 

It's great alone - best if chilled, but also makes a great compliment to champaign!

After making this juice quite a few times, I noticed a different co-worker drinking a SPICY watermelon pressed juice from one of the local juice bars. I was a little hesitant, but tried it and absolutely love it as well! 




I don't have a juicer, but I simply cut up seedless watermelon into cubes, blend and then run through a fine mesh strainer. It's so easy and delicious. Give it a try if you can still find watermelon this year!

Oscar Food

I know The Oscars were a week ago, but I'm finally getting around to posting about all the yummy goodies I enjoyed that night! I don't usually watch The Oscars from start to finish, but this year I did. And I enjoyed some amazing food with a great friend!

We started out enjoying some Greek Yogurt Ranch Dip with Celery and Baby Carrots

Then moved on to some bubbly when the awards got started!

And finished the night with an amazing dinner: 
Roasted Butternut Squash with a GIANT Green Salad and Buttermilk Biscuits! 

YUM!!!

While I enjoyed watching the awards, I think I may have enjoyed the food a little more... :)
