1. Watermelon Mint Sorbet

Ingredients:
  • 4 pounds of watermelon, seeded and scooped into big chunks (that’s the most that would fit in my blender)
  • 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon raw (turbinado) sugar
  • 3 limes, juiced
  • 3 tablespoons white rum
  • pinch sea salt
  • 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon mint, chopped (I wish I had used more than pictured above!)
 Instructions:
  1. Toss watermelon chunks, sugar, lime juice and rum in a blender. Pulverize the watermelon (to pulverize sounds like more fun than to purée, right?).
  2. Add the mint and blend until the mint is chopped into large flecks.
  3. Chill in refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  4. Pour mixture into your ice cream maker and process according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
  5. Transfer to an airtight container and freeze for a few hours. Serve.

2. “Glow from Within” Watermelon Juice

Ingredients:
  • 2 cups seedless watermelon, diced (approximately 1/4 small-medium size watermelon)
  • 3/4 cup strawberries, hulled and diced
  • 1 cup apple, cored and diced (approximately 1 medium size apple, I used a Gala)
  • 1/2 cup cucumber, peeled, cored and diced (approximately 1 cucumber)
  • 1 tablespoon filtered water
  • 1 teaspoon lime juice
 Instructions:
  1. Combine all of the ingredients in a Juicer but if you don’t have one a blender will do. (Steps 2-5 are if you are using a blender)
  2. Grab a large bowl or measuring cup and place a fine mesh strainer over top of it.
  3. Slowly pour a quarter of the mixture into the strainer and press with a spatula so that juice begins to drain.
  4. Continue this step until the rest of the mixture has been added to the strainer and pressed.
  5. Allow the pulp to sit for at least 10 minutes to get any extra juice out. I also stirred it occasionally to help get more out.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or freeze for 10) before serving. This juice is best served extra cold and I personally like it over ice with a straw.

  • 2 tablespoons honey

  • 2 teaspoons minced jalapeno (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (I would do without the salt)

Instructions:

  1. Place the melon cubes in a large bowl. Add the basil and combine well.

The reason I stopped worrying “what if” and la The reason I stopped worrying “what if” and launched my business, so I could participate in all the things for Mason and Cooper. I had a blast being on the fun run committee helping to put on this year’s fundraiser. My contribution was putting together the balloon arch and then working the water 💦 station day of the run. 

So proud of Mason, not only for raising more money than his personal goal for himself ($510 in total) but also running 10 laps and placing 2nd 🥈 in his class with a few other classmates. His run goal was 11 laps but he tried his hardest and that’s what matters most!! 

Swipe over to see Mason on the podium!!

It’s the most WONDERFUL time of the year and I d It’s the most WONDERFUL time of the year and I decided to take my whole family to get some of our holiday shopping done at the Gilroy Premium Outlets. I love shopping @gilroypo because they have something for everyone. We made a day out of it and definitely not only had tons of fun as a family but also checked off so many people on our gift list!! There are too many amazing shops to share them all but we scored big at the Gap Factory Store, Bath and Body Works, H&M, kate spade new york, Nike Factory Store, Marc Jacobs and many more!!
