Peppery Cantaloupe Cubes
"I love sharing these two ingredient recipes, though this one may sound a little odd. I must admit when I heard a chef on TV say that freshly ground black pepper on sweet cantaloupe is exceptional, I was thinking more like- bizarre! But once you taste this, especially you cantaloupe lovers, you may never eat it any other way."

- Divide cantaloupe cubes into 4 dessert bowls.

So delicious I epitomized all over myself. -
I never knew there was another way to eat cantaloupe! We have always done this, kinda like putting salt on watermelon! Thanks for sharing this with all the people who haven't been clued in yet! -
I have also always did the pepper on cantaloupe. Delicious! I sometimes add some chili powder to it to wake it up. YUM!

I'm from the South, and this is how I was raised to eat cantaloupe. I thought everyone ate it this way until I got older. I always used black pepper until I got older and went a little more gourmet with it. I keep a pepper mill in the house with a mixture of peppercorns (black, pink, green, white). If you get the chance, try it with a mix...SO GOOD!!!! This is what my summer is all about: a big bowl of cantaloupe with fresh ground pepper! -
This is how I eat my cantaloupe. Most of my coworkers think I am nuts. I love black pepper on it. I think this is a must try for everyone. Once you try it, it will be how you eat it from now on!

I love to try new recipes and mainly look for ones that are new and different, such as a twist on an old favorite or something no one's ever thought of! I also enjoy writing in my spare time. I live in Northeast Ohio where the weather isn't the greatest, humid in the summer and cold winters- but it has been nice growing up by the lake! I own two wonderful cats who can be quite a handful at times, but my fiancee and I couldn't live without them!
