Watermelon Season: What You Need to Know
Watermelon is one of the most popular fruits in the world¬—and for good reason. It's not only a delicious and refreshing treat, but it's also packed with nutrients that are beneficial for your health. Whether you're enjoying a slice at a summer barbecue or adding it to a fruit salad, watermelon is the perfect addition to any meal.
Easy Turkey Chili
This may be the world's easiest one-pot chili, and like any good chili, it's very versatile. You can eat it on it's own, serve it atop a baked sweet potato, or spread some across whole grain tortilla chips with a sprinkle of cheese, shredded lettuce, and guacamole for a healthy take on nachos. If you want to bulk up the recipe and pack in fiber, add some cooked beans or a cooked grain (brown rice, quinoa, or whatever you might have in the pantry all work great). And feel free to experiment with hot sauce, additional spices, or chopped peppers to make it your own! Watch How to Make Turkey Chili
