We've been loving watermelon lately! This is what's left of our second one so far this summer. I actually had watermelon for lunch Sunday and Calder had it (with a cookie and a brownie) for dinner tonight. It's not the most filling food, but it sure is delicious!
To my excitement, I found some tomatoes growing on our plant! We gave up on the poor hail storm survivor plants and bought a new, more grown up, tomato plant from costco. I wanted to taste one, but decided it would be best to let the grow a little longer.
This is one of our favorite dinners. I know, it looks terrible. It actually tastes WAY better than it looks and is super easy to make. We have this probably once a week. It's as simple as throwing some things in a rice cooker and waiting.
Rice Cooker Cabbage
1 lb. seasoned ground round or chuck
1 med. Onion
1 bell pepper
1 can Ro-Tel tomatoes and juice
1 c. rice (I like wild rice)
1 c. water
1 head cabbage, chopped (sometimes it doesn't all fit)
Season to taste
Layer in rice cooker as listed. Push to cook rice. It's usually not done and needs to be cooked a little longer.

The watermelon looks good. I've finally learned to eat it without salt! Congrats on the tomatoes!
Johnice always makes that cabbage dish for New Year's Day and I love it! It doesn't look or sound good, but it is so yummy! I've eaten half a watermelon all by myself in the last three days. LOVE IT!
Nothing beats homegrown tomatoes!! We are waiting on ours to get ripe too. :-)
The cabbage stuff sounds so good!
Dumb question though... do you cook the meat before you put it in the rice cooker?
Don't cook it - you do have to break it up into little chunks though. We like to use the extra lean ground beef so there's not as much fat!
