We believe in Fridays...

9 Grain Crostini with Italian cheeses toasted on top, White Bean Spinach Dip (again with the green stuff), and Watermelon Margaritas.


This is a recipe, not my creation. Want? Check it out here.  I heart Real Simple.

So the Watermelon Margaritas came from an independent post that made it onto the Cooking Light website. Thanks to my mom for discovering this recipe first. She's always on the look-out for stuff we might like around here. Here is the recipe if you feel like giving it a whirl. (Ha! Blender joke.) I found that it was a little light on the tequila and you could barely taste it. I would suggest upping that to 3/4 cup. Also, a little more than a quarter of a watermelon will be enough. I was about half a cup short on watermelon, so I substituted half a cup of strawberries that I'd chopped and frozen earlier this month. It added a light hint of berry sweetness. Also, who doesn't love frozen strawberries in their glass? Mmm. Don't drink? This would be just awesome minus the alcohol too.

Thanks to Leanna Criss for being my taste-tester (once again)!
