Cook it: So many watermelons.

“Acknowledging the good that you already have in your life is the foundation for all abundance.”
― Eckhart Tolle

Since abundance is a state of mind, I’ve recently decided that going to the market, picking fruits in the yard or going food shopping are activities that cultivate a feeling of abundance. I catch myself looking at the bags of grocery in my truck of my hatchback as if I’m gazing on a still life painting that symbolizes abundance. The overflowing shopping cart = abundance. I had an even more poignant feeling of abundance this week when I started exploring recipes that include watermelons. I was left in awe when I consider the amount of food on a plate that results from cutting up even one small watermelon. And, one small watermelon and one cucumber along with a few herbs… It feels like a gift from the heavens.

A little salt, pepper, oil and vinegar can dress us a watermelon! 

The watermelon salad pictured above was inspired by a recipe Cubed Watermelon, Cucumber and Feta Salad that I found on the Food Network. I love this recipe because of the visual appeal. The instructions for carefully measuring and cutting the cucumber and watermelon into 1-inch cubes, which was helpful. I love the addition of savory flavors to the sweetness of the melon because it wakes up my tastebuds. The smell of the herbs adds to the appeal of the dish. Next time we make it, we will add less feta.

ABUNDANCE

A full bag of groceries = the feeling of abundance.
