As
the links come in I will be pinning them to this Pinboard. This will help you
to choose which of the dishes to check out further.
To link in, just put your name and the name of the dish into the first
Mr Linky box and paste the url for your post into the second. No need to leave a comment unless you would
like to.
I
don't have a specific button for Food on Friday – and don't know how to make
one, sorry! A blog friend did donate me
a blog button which you can find on my contact page.
Looking
forward to seeing all your melony goodness.
I added Cantaloupe Salad, Watermelon Strawberry Smoothie, and Karpouzi me Feta (Greek Watermelon Salad with Feta)!
ReplyDeleteOk, I have one and only one recipe that includes melon. It calls for watermelon but I ended up substituting a cantaloupe! It's actually called Sticky Kicking Chicken (delicious) with a Watermelon Salad. Enjoy! It links to Jamie Oliver's original recipe, plus a youtube video of the episode of the 15 Minute Meals show in which he makes said recipe. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Carole. It was either the recipe I posted or a watermelon mousse pie. :-)
ReplyDeleteI added Watermelon Dippers...its a good one! Thanks Carole! =D
ReplyDeleteThanks again Carole- glad I finally had something to post!
ReplyDeleteHello Carole. I love my melon ripe and chilled with blueberries! Tart and tasty... I've posted the linky.
ReplyDeletethanks carole! posted a link for cantaloupe sorbet :)
ReplyDeleteHi Carol, I (hope) I posted a link for Frozen Fruity Tea, which uses frozen watermelon chunks as Ice cubes.
ReplyDeletePosted my Melon and Prosciutto Salad!
ReplyDeleteI really need to broaden my horizons! :) Thanks so much for the fun party Carole, Lisa
ReplyDeleteHi Carole~ I don't have a recipe for anything with melons.....and for the life of me I can't figure out Why?? I love melon, any kind, and eat it often:) I did leave a link that is about a new melon I tried, Lemondrop Melon, that was wonderful:) Thanks for hosting Carole~ Have a great weekend~Lynn @ Turnips 2 Tangerines
ReplyDeleteI love using melons in salads. I've linked my Watermelon and Avocado Salad. It's great next to BBQ meats.
ReplyDeleteThanks for another fantastic round-up, Carole! I think cantaloupe is my favorite melon. Nothing beats a perfectly ripe, sweet one on a hot day.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to try some of these at our next cookout! I posted the fruit sparklers I made back on the Fourth of July. They're a simple way to make eating fruit fun for kids! (and grown ups too!)
ReplyDeleteHappy to be back thanks for the invite!
ReplyDeleteJust linked up :-)
ReplyDeleteAparna

Hi Carole, I finally have a couple recipe to add again. I messed up on my first posting, #50, and just added my name/link but not recipe name. Hence, I tried again on #51. You might want to delete #50! Sorry!
ReplyDeleteGreat topic for this week's Food on Friday! Love melons! Have a great weekend and thanks for hosting!
ReplyDeleteWonderful Topic, Carole! Thanks so much for doing this link-up!
ReplyDeleteHi Carole, I'm linking my previous watermelon posting, "What's your favorite way to eat watermelon", it ok with you?
ReplyDeleteRegards.
Done. Refreshing topic.
ReplyDeleteGreat topic, love melon!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the invite Carole! Unfortunately I added my name instead of the recipes name. Don't know how to change this. COuld you please add Apples and Melon Refreshing Juice for the first one and Summer Watermelon & Oranges Smoothie for the second? Thank you very much! :D
ReplyDeleteHi, Carol!! Thanks for the invite!! I don't have any dishes with melons to share!!! But I think this post will help me to remedy that immediately :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! Some very interesting and tasty looking recipes this week. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Carole - what a perfect refreshing topic going into a hot summer weekend! Cheers

Linked my Watermelon batida de coco. Another favorite is a fruit salad of melon balls and grapes drizzled with homemade limoncello and fresh mint.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the invite! I linked up my super easy Watermelon Granita!
ReplyDeleteWatermelon is my fav! Of course at our Shark Week party we were able to use the insides for "Chum" salad and the outside as a shark! Thanks so much for the invite! I am checking out your blog now!
