This week, the inimitable Mama Kat prompted me to share a guilt-free recipe with you all. And because I am a joiner
a victim of bloggy hero worship
at a loss for a better topic
um, intrigued by this prompt, I have chosen to do just that. You probably know by now that, although I’m not much of a chef, I do love me some Pinterest action. And that? Is where I found the recipe that I share with you today.
It’s a hit at every baby shower that I’ve ever hosted. You know how expectant moms love their health food. And although it looks complicated, it truly is not.
Truly.
All you need is a watermelon, plus a boatload of other assorted fresh fruit…
an ounce of Limoncello…
…and that’s about it.
Here’s what you do:
1) Cut the watermelon in half and at a slight upward angle. Hollow out the middle.
2) Using a melon baller, scoop the flesh of your assorted fresh fruit into spheres.
3) Arrange the fruit in the hollowed-out watermelon to your liking.
4) Down the limoncello quicker than you can say “My friend’s got a bun in the oven!”
5) Tell yourself that the guests at the baby shower will love your creation.
6) Believe your positive self-talk as the limoncello hits you like a ton of bricks.
7) With a flourish, a slight stumble, and a TA-DAAAAAAAAAA!, present your creation to the shower attendees:
Mama.
It’ll have everyone at the shower buzzing. Or if not, it’ll have you buzzing. Which is kind of more important, anyway.
And there you have it, friends.
Healthy.
Stylish.
You’re welcome.

You know what made me laugh? The caption, Mama. WIth that picture, it’s just priceless.
I couldn’t eat that precious watermelon baby.

I’m glad you appreciated that, too. Great minds, girlfriend…
Too funny! That is far beyond my watermelon capability. I am, however, excellent at slicing watermelon pieces of varying thickness. Really, I am a pro at that.
Then you? Are invited to the next shower that I host. xo
OMG-someone needs to have a baby shower just so I can volunteer to make this! That is so funny! I love it!
You seriously need to go to my Pinterest board where this came from, Kate. TRIPPY.
HA! I’ve wanted to try this for a while since I saw it on Pinterest, but it never appealed to me enough to actually do it, and now I know why. It was missing an ingredient, Limoncello
Darn tootin’. Also – Have you seen the “shark” version of this on Pinterest? SCARY. In every possible way imaginable.
I’ll just stick with the limoncello. A few shot, an no one cares what damn shape the fruit comes in. Cheers.
I didn’t even have to hashtag #limoncello, and you were here, Kerry. I thought of you while I was writing this. You must have heard that.
Ok, that is just awesome. And now I want an ounce of Limoncello…and it’s before noon
Anytime is Limoncello time. *clink*
Impressive… but I’m more interested in that Limoncello
As was I, Jen…As was I. Cheers!
“awwwww….mom…is that baby Jesus?” 4 year old. Nuff said.
Yes, my child. He comes with his own teenytiny vessel of “wine,” too.
Son of a bitch.
That looks too pretty to eat.
I’d still eat it though.
Totally would…while looking at you cringe…or stumble
…or both. I’ve missed you, Kimberly! Will visit this weekend. And? I have a proposition for you. Don’t be scurrred.
AHHHHHH! You’re killing me with the cuteness of this. I just want to make one for my family to eat, but I’m sort of scared about eating the baby head part. P.S. I’ve never had Limoncello. Dammit.
It’s sort of an artsy not to cannibalism, no?
ps – If I go to BlogHer this summer? (fingers crossed) We’re totally having limoncello, hittin da club, and gettin our dance on.
Mama.
