Watermelon Bites with Blue Cheese and Prosciutto

We picked up Travis from camp yesterday!  It was so great to see him after 3 weeks – to meet his new friends, to watch him do a few of the activities, to see the smiles, and to hear the details about camp (this is Travis so that last comment is all relative).  The euphoria lasted less than 4 hours.  By the time we arrived back in Dallas, the boys did something to hurt Elizabeth’s feelings and “I’m bored” came from T’s mouth.  Laundry has been extra soapy because T accidentally packed his bottle of shampoo upside down with the lid open in his trunk.  Nevertheless, it is nice to be back together and for Travis to have had a great camp experience!

Let’s continue the “wonderful world of watermelon” series with these bite size appetizers that are light, juicy, and flavorful with a combination of sweet, tangy, creamy and a bit of bite from the blue cheese.

PS – can you believe that Nikki Dinki and Stacey Poon-Kinney were released from The Next Food Network Star?  They were our top contenders.  Look at what we know! (David and I did much better selecting winners on The Voice).  The vote is on and the winner is selected next Sunday!
