Cantaloupe is now in *Season*!!

May 31, 2011 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello!

I am not very good about knowing when fruit is in season…but I did realize that over the winter, the cantaloupe that I got from my local grocery store was BLEH!

I decided to try to buy some this week and MMMMMM the difference!

I wanted a little snack today and even though my cantaloupe had gotten a little ripe when I was out of town over the Memorial Day weekend…it was still sweet and juicy and deeelightfully summery!
Check out my salty-sweet-cool snack!  Cantaloupe and cottage cheese on a corn chip! 🙂



Sweet: cantaloupe.  It is best from May to October but it is BEST July 30th…can’t wait 🙂

Since I am almost certain I had no fruit over the weekend, this was an extra treat.  Does anyone else get this excited about fruit?? 



Salty: I always put chips in some type of container instead of
eating out of the bag…otherwise I’d eat the whole thing!



Just enough cottage cheese!  1/4 cup is one serving..only 80 calories and 13 grams of protein!!



Need to re-paint the nails…



Just cottage cheese on the chip is yummy too!!


Like I said, this was a welcome healthy snack after this weekend…I tried to eat healthy but sometimes out at the BF’s farm…healthy eats aren’t really available.  It was still a lovely relaxing weekend and I even got a walk in along the cornfields which was definitely a change of pace.

Well I am off to do my back exercises!  My back is definitely improving which is AWESOME to say the least.  I strongly dislike only working once a week…although I have been somehow keeping busy with various summer activities.

Then I get to celebrate me and the BF’s 3 YEAR anniversary!

Have a fantastic evening!

How’s your summer going?

What did you do for Memorial Day?
