I love the sweetness and caramelization of the grilled watermelon combined with the salty feta, the earthy mint, and the tangy balsamic glaze. And really, what says, “summer” better than watermelon?

I had a bit of a crazy week: I ended up in the ER (all is okay, thankfully), and my beloved Cavaliers lost in the NBA Finals. That second part is maybe a little more upsetting to me than the first, and I’m pretty sure the two events might actually be related!

Anyway, I was checked out thoroughly at the hospital, but it took all. day. long. When I got home, I just wanted to chill and watch my Cavs win game four.

My husband ran to the grocery store and came back with an array of goodies for dinner in the form of an antipasto. Oh, and also a bagful of junk food: my favorite candy bar, my favorite ice cream, my favorite chips (dill pickle flavored), and caramel corn.

Try my Easy Antipasto as a light meal when you really don’t feel like cooking. It includes artichoke hearts and hearts of palm, too.

I’m pretty sure the checkout person thought he had the munchies, but he was just being thoughtful and trying to cheer me up (how sweet, right)! Wisely, I didn’t indulge in everything he brought home or I might have ended up back at the hospital.

Over the next few days, I started to get back on track with healthier foods. Since we had a watermelon on the counter and a few friends stopping over, I decided to make Grilled Watermelon with Feta, Mint, and Balsamic Glaze as a fun dish to start our meal.

Our grill is open almost all year, but definitely in the summer. You too? Try my Grilled Angel Food Cake with Roasted Blueberries the next time you’re out grilling. It makes for a simple and delicious dessert.

    This sounds interesting, and an unlikely combination in my opinion! But I'm intrigued and I happen to have some watermelon left over in my fridge so I may just give this a go later on today!

Welcome to Grab a Plate!

Growing up surrounded by my Italian family it was always, "grab a plate" whenever anyone came to visit. Food was always a celebration, even everyday meals, and I like it that way. I try to make each meal memorable with my recipes for mainly meatless, mostly healthy, and easy-to-make dishes (with sweet treats in between).
