It's officially summertime! Mr. T and I have been snacking on a watermelon for a couple of days. I love it. With it being summer in the south we are seeing temperatures that are pushing 100* on a regular basis. It's the perfect excuse to eat something cold.
I like granitas. They are easy to make and don't require an ice cream maker. This one can even be made with a sugar substitute for those watching their sugar intake.
