Healthy Fact of the Day

Watermelon is not only refreshing but also nutritious. It's low in calories and high in vitamins A and C, as well as lycopene, an antioxidant that may help reduce the risk of certain cancers and support heart health.

  • 4 oz crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, torn
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, torn
  • 2 tbsp balsamic glaze
  • 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup pistachios, roughly chopped
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste

 

Instructions

  1. Cut the large watermelon slice into 8 wedges, like a pizza.

  2. Arrange the watermelon wedges on a large, circular serving platter in a pizza shape.

  3. Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese evenly over the watermelon.

  4. Scatter the thinly sliced red onion over the feta.

  5. Distribute the torn mint and basil leaves across the “pizza”.

  6. Drizzle the balsamic glaze and olive oil over the watermelon and toppings.

  7. Sprinkle the chopped pistachios over everything.

  8. Finish with a light dusting of freshly ground black pepper.

  9. Serve immediately, encouraging guests to pick up slices as they would a regular pizza.

Tip of the Day

“Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!

One Can of Tomatoes, Five Completely Different Meals

Canned tomatoes are one of the rare cases where the processed version is actually nutritionally superior to fresh. The canning process increases the bioavailability of lycopene — a powerful antioxidant linked to heart health and reduced cancer risk — making it easier for your body to absorb than it would be from a raw tomato.
