I guess that&rsquo;s what happens when you live in Miami. Originally, I&rsquo;m from New York and then I moved to Los Angeles for three years. I met my Fianc&eacute; during my career transition (which you&rsquo;ll soon hear about) and next thing you know we&rsquo;re moving to he&rsquo;s hometown in Miami. We came out here so he can continue to fish and captain boats. To be honest, I had no idea that was even a thing. But if you know me, I&rsquo;m always down to take a leap of faith and walk into the unknown. So far, so good.&nbsp;</p> <p>Anyway, with the heat I&rsquo;ve been eating a lot more fruit and have been craving everything from watermelon to pineapple, making it a daily staple. Just to make things fun, I switched up my ordinary watermelon and mixed it with a bunch of other favorites.</p> <p><strong>Ingredients:</strong></p> <ul> <li>1 large watermelon</li></ul> <ul> <li>1 medium pineapple</li></ul> <ul> <li>1 pint blueberries</li></ul> <ul> <li>1 bag ripe cherries</li></ul> <p>(any fruit of choice)</p> <p class="half_width" data-empty="true"><img src="https://www.giannafae.com/static/sitefiles/images/Watermelon-2.jpg" class="fr-fic fr-dib "></p> <p><strong>Directions:</strong></p><ol> <li>With a large knife cut the watermelon in half and scoop out the melon</li> <li>Dice up the watermelon into small squares and place aside</li> <li>Cut up the fresh pineapple into squares</li> <li>Mix watermelon and pineapple into the empty watermelon bowl</li> <li>Top with blueberries and cherries</li></ol> <p>Freely eat without guilt and enjoy outdoors!</p> <p class="half_width"><img src="https://www.giannafae.com/static/sitefiles/images/Watermelon-3(1).jpg" class="fr-fic fr-dib "></p> <p data-empty="true"></p> https://www.giannafae.com/blog/watermelon-fruit-bowl-v 3 2017-09-21 <p><img src="https://www.giannafae.com/static/sitefiles/blog/PB_Stuffed_Dates_2.jpg" border="0" /></p><p>Quick and easy bites for a great pre-workout&hellip;or just to solve a sweet tooth craving. I usually have 1 or 2 before a long run and sometimes sneak in another one after dinner.
