Sparkling Melon Balls


Doesn't that look sophisticated and yummy? This is my daughter's latest recipe creation which she asked me to share on my blog. It's called Sparkling Melon Balls and it's a fancy little snack that would be great for afternoon tea time. She got the idea from watching Giada on the Food Network, only Giada uses wine for her creation.

Basically, you make melon balls from cantaloupe, honeydew, watermelon or a combo of all three. Choose a sophisticated serving glass and pour Sprite or 7-Up over the melon. Wait until the last minute to pour the drink or the melon balls will become a mushy mess by the time you want to eat them.

I'm not a soda fan, only drink about two a year, but this was tasty. It's a snazzy little way to get kids to eat more fruit too.

Thank God for domestic daughters, that's all I can say!

Made me smile. The love of a mother.The intuition of a daughter who knows if it's important it's in mom's blog.

That looks so yummy! What a great idea to sneek fruit into your picky childs tummy. It may just work. I on the other hand can eat fruit anyway it comes... This even looks pretty... Thanks for sharing and tell your daughter great job too! Smiles, Susie H~

What a great thing, to let your daughter be creative in the kitchen with you! I love that. :)

I'll be sure to share this recipe with my kids to see if they'd like the chance to recreate it!
