Watermelon week at Eating Out Loud

Up close view of a large amount of cut up watermelon.

Summer is watermelon season. I look forward to it every year and the only problem I'm able to spot when it comes to watermelons is that they contain so much fruit that you either need a whole lot of refrigerator space in which to store it, or you need to have a party in order to crack open a melon.

If you find yourself with some extra watermelon and no excess fridge space or party guests, Allen at Eating Out Loud is dedicating the entire week to profiling good ways to incorporate watermelon into your cooking. Yesterday he published a recipe for watermelon mint ice pops that look extremely delicious. I mean, talk about food porn. Not only are the pops beautiful, they're incredibly easy to make.

If you want a special, tasty, home made treat that's also good-ish for you, you might want to give these watermelon mint pops a try! And make sure to check back in with Eating Out Loud all week long to see what other watermelon treats he's got up his sleeve.

Spice it up and cool it down with a wasabi popsicle

That's right , a wasabi ice pop to function as both a palate-cleanser and a tart dessert. According to this week's New York magazine, Masaharu Morimoto, formerly on the Food Network's television show Iron Chef, just put this popsicle on his menu at Morimoto. It is made with fresh wasabi rather than wasabi powder which is much spicier.

It's not everyday that you find a spice being used in a dessert that is supposed to cool you down. Could this be the start of a new trend?

I haven't tried this wasabi popsicle yet. If any of you have, let me know your thoughts.

Frozen orange juice: A childhood pastime

For me, the beginning of every season conjures up images from my childhood. The changing of the seasons makes me sensitive to the passing of time. And so, while opening the freezer door on a recent particularly hot June evening, I remembered the orange popsicles I'd make during the summer. I romanticized those blisteringly hot summer days as a 7-year-old boy with both of my sisters sitting outside by our inflatable "kiddy" pool. At that moment, I felt compelled to make the same super sweet, mildly acidic, and juicy ice pops.

I went to Bed Bath and Beyond to purchase the identical plastic popsicle molds I used as a child. On the side of the plastic mold is a straw so that you can drink the orange juice that melts to the bottom. For some reason, I remember that being the most enjoyable part of the treat. As a child, creating these orange juice popsicles –pouring orange juice in the molds and placing them in the freezer-seemed so thrilling.

I highly recommend these orange juice popsicles! They're a great way to keep children excited and hydrated during the sizzling summer days. Find out some wild and crazy ice pop ideas and check out the gallery of popsicles of different shapes and sizes.

Happy National Blueberry Popsicle Day!

Come on, Blueberry Popsicle Day? Really? I guess if you're going to have a whole set aside for a food, it's cool that it's a rather specific, different food. Makes it more special somehow.

I don't think I've ever had a blueberry popsicle. I've had grape, orange, cherry, raspberry, banana, watermelon, root beer, and many other flavors, but I don't think I've ever come across a blueberry flavored popsicle.

Here's a recipe for Blueberry and Vanilla Parfait Pops. Not a pure blueberry popsicle because it includes frozen yogurt, but it's close enough. Here's one for Blueberry-Peach Tequila Popsicles. And if you'd like to find out more about blueberries in general, check out the U.S. Blueberry Council.
