Watermelon is one of the best parts of summer. Join me in a super easy to make watermelon ricky that deserves to be called a mocktail. If you're like me you may get a little overzealous at times. If something is priced per piece, or perhaps per watermelon, I am going to find the biggest one in the store - even if I can barely lift it into my cart by myself. I'm just thrifty cheap that way. Well, it's only saving money if you use the whole thing. I may have over bought on watermelon a couple time ... Read More about Summer Watermelon Ricky with Homemade Watermelon Juice

It does use sugar, but you could experiment with the recipe to use your favorite sweetener. You could also use a gluten-free baking mix in place of ...
