Watermelon, cantaloupe, and honeydew, oh my! Can you tell the theme for this month’s Monthly Mingle? Every month Meeta (of What’s For Lunch Honey?) and her guest hosts choose a theme for the blog event she founded called the Monthly Mingle. What is it you ask? It’s essentially a place on the Internet where we can gather and celebrate our recipes and love for one kind of food. This month we’re praising: the melon. From smoothies, salads, and even cold refreshing soups, what better time is there to celebrate melon than summer?
