Today is National Watermelon Day! I wrote earlier this summer about the many benefits of watermelon. Click here to read that blog. Made of almost 92% water, the fruit is full of Vitamins A, C, and antioxidants. In honor of this August 3 holiday, Kelly’s Choice intern Celina Rescott came up with this recipe. We’re calling it pizza cake because some of us liked eating it the way you would eat a slice of pizza and some of us used a fork, the way you would eat a piece of cake. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
