There’s a definite art to picking the very best watermelons. But don’t worry, once you know what to look for, it’s easy. Buying watermelons at a farmers market takes out much of the guesswork: Farmers know their business and will only harvest watermelons for sale when they’re truly ripe. At the grocery store, you’re more likely to be on your own. But not totally on your own, because I’ve got an easy three-step process to help you pick out the best watermelon. Here’s what you need to look for in order to spot the perfect picnic-worthy specimen.1) Pick it up: Big or small, the watermelon should feel heavy for its size.

2)Look for the yellow spot: Watermelons develop a splotch where they rest on the ground. When this splotch is creamy yellow, it’s ripe.

3)Give it a thump: Tap the underbelly of the watermelon. A ripe one will have a deep hollow sound, which means it is brimming with juice and at the peak of its ripeness. Under-ripe or over-ripe melons will sound dull. www.chefkimd.com

Fruits are an excellent source of antioxidants and vitamins including vitamins that are lacking in a standard American diet. Let’s discuss the benefits vs the disadvantages of the “Fruit Diet “ Fruits are naturally low in calories. If a person switches from a standard diet to a fruit diet, they may reduce their caloric intake and lose weight.

Many fruits contain high levels of:
* vitamin C, which helps repair tissue and maintain healthy gums and teeth
* potassium, which is vital for keeping blood pressure at a healthy level
* folate, which helps the body create red blood cells and aids in detoxification your gut.

However there is risk. A fruit diet is also high in sugar, which may lead to a number of health problems for some individuals. Fruits contain natural sugars, and while generally beneficial, excessive consumption, especially of certain fruits or fruit products, may contribute to weight gain or blood sugar fluctuations. Experts recommend that 25%-30% of your diet be made up of fruit.

A lack of protein is one of the main risks of a fruitarian diet. Although a person following the diet may eat some nuts and seeds, these may not contribute sufficient amounts of protein to maintain health. Fruits do not contain omega-3s. These are important for heart health, brain function, and reducing inflammation.

In conclusion, a fruit-only diet can be detrimental to health due to the risk of severe nutrient deficiencies and other potential health issues. It is crucial to consume a balanced diet that includes a variety of food groups to ensure adequate nutrient intake. www.chefkimd.com

Host like a pro this year for your 4th of July party😉

I put together a short list of things to you you can incorporate your patriotism into the decor, food, drinks, and activities which is where the fun begins and host like a pro.

🇺🇸Decide on your Decor

So let’s start with the decor since that is what sets the theme and feel when someone first walks into your party.

Decorating the front of your house and/or front yard can mean adding just a few touches of stars & stripes or going all out.

🇺🇸Now for your tables...whether you’re having a backyard BBQ, pot luck or sit-down dinner, your food tables will be a feature of your party so incorporating your patriotic theme is a must. With that said, you can create something very refined or go all out red, white & blue.

🇺🇸 Now onto the food. This is another really fun part of designing your party because you can keep things really simple and still incorporate the patriotic feel or you can be the Chef Kim of parties and make everything themed and EXTRA 😁

🇺🇸 BBQ is synonymous with 4th of July parties so chances are you will have some sort of BBQ food at your event. It’s easy and you can cook up a range of different mains from skewers and burger sliders to chicken and ribs, and of course veggie options for the vegans out there. Don’t forget about the dessert.

🇺🇸 Include some Themed Drinks
The first thing to consider when it comes to drinks is keeping your guests hydrated, especially on hot days as July 4th tends to be.

One very stylish way to do this is to include your theme in a water station with red and blue fruit like raspberries and blueberries for example. You could even use a cookie cutter to cut out

🇺🇸 Last but not least Games & Entertainment. 4th of July party tends to start late in the afternoon and go on well after dark so having some games and entertainment is a must at your party. Be safe and enjoy yourself don’t overthink or over work just have fun 🤩
