Watermelon and feta are *excellent* together -- either basil or mint is great in the herb spot. I don't grill mine ( no grill), but a salad with watermelon, feta, basil, olive oil, baslamic, and pine nuts is maybe my favorite summertime meal. Watermelon is also great with some oil and chili powder or red pepper and salt. There are a lot of great global ways of treating watermelong that make it so, so awesome.
Mint > basil, but yes, always a tasty combo with feta and watermelon!
Watermelon, feta, mint or basil and Tajin. So good. As they were eating it I was thinking it would be better in salad form. Could still grill it but then slice up the watermelon and put it in a bowl.
Just salt on the watermelon. It is my mom’s family way of eating it
Its pronunced as "moh-chee" mochi and "ooh-bay" ube ;D Saw sum comments saying she said it wrong but not helping her learn!! Thanks for the great videos, Rach!!
Was coming here to say this as well.
@@user-ts7pm7if2i Same ☺️
Actually it’s pronounced “oo-beh” :)
I am greek, and watermelon with feta cheese and bread is a summer classic over here😁
Same as in Egypt!
Grilled peaches with herbed goat cheese and a drizzle of honey if my favorite summer food, watermelon would likely be a good substitute for peaches 😊
Seems like a lot of work! But Chris’s drink idea with the gin sounds wonderful and fairly easy. Gin float topped with Prosecco as the “syrup”! Yum
One of my favourite summer recipes is a watermelon and strawberry salad. 🍉🍓 I cube the watermelon (about 1" cubes), cut the strawberries in half or quarters (depending on how big they are!), add some fresh mint (finely chopped), and squeeze a lime over top. Sometimes I add a bit of lime zest, too. It's SO refreshing! (and the juice that's left in the bottom is also delicious!!)
ok that sounds so good, i'm def trying it out!
I’m totally here for your strangely Canadian pronunciation of mochi. 😂 Your watermelon 🍉 was at peak ripeness. I just bought a total dud at the store 😭😭😭
It’s not a Canadian thing it’s a her thing hahahaha it’s funny tho
I was thinking the same thing about how she pronounces mochi…I’m completely OK with it…I may pronounce it muchi from now on!
definitely not a canadian thing 😂
Umm definitely not a Canadian thing. I mean I’m Canadian too & I don’t pronounce ube or mochi that way. It’s a Rachel thing lol 😂
@@princesstruc2005 same lol
The way you pronounce Ube, Mochi and mochiko is adorable girl!!! ☺️🙏🏼 Back at home (Hawaii) I would alwayss get anything and everything ube🤤🤤🤤 And I loveee mochiiiii🤤🤤🤤🤤 And mochiko chicken!! ❤
GET IT GIRLLLL!!!
@ankaMynx It's been a while since I had mochiko chicken, but I miss it! Hopefully, you'll enjoy it too when you try it 😀 😁 🙏🏼
Mochi is more like moe-chee
Also never saw it cut so thick
Drink looks delish but isn’t a mimosa orange juice and champagne
For the peach recipe, since you can't get Fresh try frozen, you may need to play with whether or not to defrost. As for favorite recipes, Watermelon Feta Salad. Bite size watermelon crumbled feta, mint, lime juice, olive oil, and salt. Or Cucumber Tomato salad. Base is thinly sliced cucumber and chunks of tomato tossed in Apple Cider vinegar, rice vinegar and Extra Virgin Olive Oil with salt and pepper to taste. Can be dressed up with fresh or dried dill, basil, and parsley (or any combination of those) thinly sliced or chopped red onion can also be added.
Try the peach pastry again with frozen thawed peaches! Thats what I use when I make stone fruit & berry galettes... works beautifully. Also, highly recommend a peach blackberry galette as a summer recipe!
Thank you for creating content. It’s a great way to zone out and feel like I’m with friends that I know and we’re trying things. But I’m just watching you do all the fun viral videos lol 😂❤ keep up the creativity please 🎉
It's a summer staple here in Egypt to have Salty cheese, bread with watermelon hehe ❤️❤️
Yes definitely 💯
That drink reminds me of sherbet punch. This was something that was made during my childhood for church teas and wedding receptions. It's just sherbet in lemon-lime soda (like 7Up or Sprite). It would be made in a punch bowl by unwrapping a rectangular half gallon of sherbet, putting it in the punch bowl, and pouring the lemon-lime soda over it. Sometimes some scoops of sherbet would be floated in the bowl to make it pretty. The sherbet would gradually melt into the soda, making a wonderful, foamy, refreshing drink. I know, I know, this is very midwestern.
I know, I know, and I totally grew up with it too! Wedding receptions, graduation parties, anniversary parties for grandparents, all of them!
Admit it, we wear our midwestern-ness on our sleeves and put it on our tables.
Yes, from Texas here but we always made it with ginger ale and sherbet. One of my favorites 😊
Sprite/7up sounds delicious too. Always wanted to play around with flavors, like the raspberry lime or orange and cream soda
I’m Canadian and remember this from the late 70’s early 80’s. I had forgot all about it so thank you for the memories! ☺️
We have ice cream in the U.S. with Pop Rocks in them already. It’s called “Fireworks Ice Cream”. It tastes awesome. Love your videos and Christopher’s shirts are always on point.
That sounds awesome! I've never seen it!
I'm sad the deliciousness you Americans have for ice cream
Where?
@@Tina-xf5sv Stewart’s makes it, but during the 4th of July a lot of the Mom & Pop ice cream shops have it. At least in Wisconsin they do. 😉
Love it as always! You know, if you get fresh plums, I'd try that tart again with a fresh plum. They've got a similar texture to peaches, and shouldn't leave the pastry as soggy as the canned peaches did.
I was wondering if frozen peaches are available, they might be slightly less watery compared to canned.
i was wondering if it would work with apples or even fresh berries
Try grilling avocado slices. Finish them with a little salt and they are delicious. Definitely my favorite summer food.
I recently discovered the soften/melt menu on my microwave, and I use it for ice cream and butter non stop lol
I wonder if the peach pastries would have come out better if you'd dried the peaches overnight on a paper towel lined baking sheet (kinda how you do with eggplant for eggplant parm). You might even try salting them a little. That might be a really nice contrast with the sweet honey 😋
For the mochi, it might be easier to scoop the ice cream into balls on a lined parchment tray then freeze it prior to wrapping it in the mochi wrapper. Also, kneading the mochi flour in a bowl until it’s elastic will at least help with the messiness of everything.
My favorite is Jian Dui or red bean fried mochi dough (it’s chinese) but for summer chai ice cream is really good
Can peaches don’t work the best because of the water ratio. But you might make peach turnovers and it would work.
I love watching this video and thanks for the other recipes listed below!

I can only think of matcha tea when you say matchi... I think it's mo-chi. Looks delicious!
The way Rachel says Mochi and Mochiko is adorable 😂
Your videos always make my day❤
I freaking just love you Rach❤ you make my year. Watching from the U.K ❤❤❤❤
Yessss early for once love you Rachel ❤❤❤ I would love to see trying summer drinks 🍹
Watching this snuggled under a blanket during in (australian) winter with a bowl of ice cream to feel summery 😂
We get peaches delivered in the summer by the peach truck. So fresh and makes the most amazing peach tarts❤️
She goes out of focus and the big white bowl is in focus😂. Love your videos ❤
Omg I commented too fast😂. She just mentioned it
Balsamic and feta GRILLED GRAPES are to die for!! You need to try those!!
Mow-chee 😊 and Ube ice cream is AMAZING ❤
Can you do a video with updates on all the products you liked when you first tried them? The creami comes to mind, but there have been lots!
What about frozen peaches that are thawed? Think that would work?
Love your videos!
They also make chocolate oranges with poprocks in them. I was pleasantly surprised
I hunt for those every year when they come out. The pop rock chocolate oranges are my fav!
My favorite!
One of my favourite summer foods: Strawberry and watermelon salad with chopped mint leaves. Don't eat too much of the leaves, they just need to release mint flavour into the fruit juice.
I also love falafel with loads of salad and yoghurt mint sauce.
Both of your suggestions sound delicious! Falafel is so good!
Hersheys has white chocolate bars with pop rocks in it they’re red white and blue for 4th of July.
i love your videos
My husband always microwaves his ice cream! He always shivers after he eats it and I tease him that he didn't get it hot enough.
We have grilled watermelon all the time here in Michigan. Great stuff!
I made peach cobbler one time with fresh peaches and it tasted the same as canned so I bet the canned peaches will be just as good!
Watermelon & feta salad is a summer staple for me! Not grilled though, that's good too but not on a regular basis. Add some fresh mint, some olive oil, salt, and a bit of balsamic vinegar or lemon juice. SO good!!
I’m loving all the Friends references ❤😆
My favorite summer recipe is fruit ambrosia. There's a zillion different versions, but the one I make it:
1 package of orange Jell-O
8-oz can of crushed pineapple, drained
2 cups of shredded coconut (either sweetened or unsweetened depending on your preferences)
2 cups of mini marshmallows
8-oz tub of Cool Whip (store brand is fine)
11-oz can of mandarin oranges, drained
Prepare the Jell-O per the instructions on the package. Once it's set up, scoop it into a large bowl, and scramble the Jell-O slightly with a spoon or rubber spatula. Stir in the pineapple and coconut until evenly blended. Gently stir in the marshmallows. Fold in the Cool Whip, and then even-more-gently fold in the mandarin oranges (trying not to break them up too much). Scoop the whole mess into your desired serving bowl and chill for at least an hour before serving. (Sometimes I just more pineapple and oranges because I love them, and sometimes I use different flavors of Jello and use other fruits as well like diced strawberries.)
We don’t have much of a peach season where I live either, so I order a case of them every summer from a farm in Georgia (where they do have wonderful peaches). If you like/love peaches like I do, you might want to look into something similar.
I recently had a pop rocks Jell-O shot. I typically don’t do Jell-O shots anymore now that I’m in my thirties, but it was intriguing and actually really good! It’s was blue razz of course! 😝
An ice cream place called Brusters used to have a cotton candy ice cream that had pop rocks in it. So good ❤.
I'm Turkish and eating watermelon with feta is a staple of summer! So delicious!!
Just sat down with my lunch, couldn't have had better timing!
the watermelon is an awsome salad (also with feta) its amazing for summer
For the pastrie try apples instead of peaches, it will work amazing. And for the grilled watermellon. Cut it into peaces onces grilled and place in a bowl with all the ingredients you used plus prosciutto snd make it into salad. We used this tons in the middle east. It is yum.
Also, that watermelon is the most beautiful colour 😍
What an entertaining disaster!
lol
Apropos fresh peaches:
We always get them here, BUT the ultimate fresh peaches were when we had a residence/property on Ischia (island off of Napoli, Italy), where they grew on trees all over the garden. You went to the swimming pool, while walking grabbed one right from the tree and ate it.
So big, white inside, fresh and tasty! Never had better ones!
Keep making such fun videos!
Best wishes
Baskin Robbins in South Korea has an ice cream with pop rocks in them! I was so pleasantly surprised as a kid and always wondered why we didn’t have the same flavor back home lol
Feta Balsamic Watermelon and Mint is a REALLY good snack
Been making this watermelon for years but I cut mine up and serve it like a salad much easier to eat. I take it to parties and such people love it. And yes much better chilled
we have gotten chocolate bars and oreos with pop rocks in them, excited to try the pop
rocks with ice cream. for the prosecco drink, i grew up in the south, so we did lime sherbert with sprite (pretty similar) for weddings/baby showers lol. i actually loved it growing up!
They used to have a pop rocks blizzard when I was a teen and it was grape flavor and it was soooo good
Love your videos! Not sure if this is technically a summer recipe but I love sour patch grapes! It's just grapes, I like the green ones the best for this, and roll them in dry jello. Supposed to use the jolly rancher flavored jello(sour apple, watermelon) but I haven't been able to find it lately, so I just use cherry, watermelon, peach, whatever sounds good. That's it roll them in the jello powder and put them in the fridge if you want them cold. I usually don't wait that long! Lol So simple, but so good! Hope you like them!
I buy cotton candy ice cream with pop rocks in it all the time. It’s delicious!
David Seymour did a bunch of the pastry things, and he did a savoury version with pepperoni, pizza sauce, and mozzarella under the pastry. Then he did a mock beef Wellington. They looked amazing.
Since you have the ube ice cream (btw, VERY jealous of that, haven't had any since I was 13 and was in the Philippines, and I'm in my early 30s now) I so want you to try making a Filipino dessert called the halo-halo. I think you'd have fun assembling it and looking at all the pretty pictures.
If you're in an area with Trader Joe's they sell some. Not sure if it's seasonal
@@Heyfa Ah, I'm Swedish, so I don't think there's any Trader Joe's anywhere close to me.
A symphony of pop rocks in my sink is my band name 😂
It was actually, fun to see recipes that didn't work out. So many of them don't work when they are tried at home.
We need a breakdown of Chris's drink recipe lol I would definitely try it.
Grilled watermelon with Tahini sprinkled on it while grilling...yummy. or grilled watermelon with maple syrup and a dash of cayenne and chili powder.
Years ago, we ordered lunch from a new (to us) Asian restaurant. I wanted Bobba tea as they had many flavors. As we phoned in our order, they kept saying they were out of whatever flavor I requested. Finally, I asked what they had and they said ube. None of us had ever heard of it so I asked what that was. They said sweet potato and we were completely confused. I am fairly adventurous so I ordered it. It was definitely different.
Try using sliced fresh apples for the pastry! I sprinkle a little cinnamon and sugar over the honey before placing the apples. Or toss the apples with cinnamon sugar then place them. They are DELICIOUS!!!
I think I'll try the champagne/sorbet once I give birth this summer🎉🎉 it looks great
I love that girl but hearing her mispronounce mochi and ube was killing me! 😂
Haha same
Yesssss hahahahaha
Came to the comments to see if anyone else was struggling 🤣💀
Matchie!!! 😂
Same!
Yay! Rach entering her Filipino food era.
Oh, and its pronounced "Oo-beh" and Moe-chi /moe-chico flour 😊 i gotchu bestie❤
Ah your pronunciation was cute 🤭 but the "mo" part in mochi sounds more similar to the "mo" in 'more'! And ube is like "oooo-bay"!
Can we have a video where you compare recipes to Chris's elaboration on said recipe? I am always like doooooo iiiittt!! 😂
Deffo going to try the grilled watermelon 🍉 with the feta.
Cutting the watermelon up after you grill it and chill it with the toppings into like a salad would be good too!
Please please do more Ninja Creami recipes! I know you’ve been upping your protein intake and the recipes going around are made of protein milks ❤
If you try the peach tarts again, when you drizzle the honey use a butter knife. Just dip it in and it's much easier to drizzle lightly.
I remember my boys having pop rocks when they had braces! It was shocking!!! 🤣
You should try the peach thing with apples! 😊
Why not use the white chocolate and pop rocks in the mixing feature of the ninja creamy to see how that would work? Or just throw the pop rocks as they are! 😁
Hey girl go try my 2 ingredient peanut butter fudge on lazy may's country kitchen. I promise it is the best fudge ever and it takes 2 min. Would love to see you try this on your channel. Love all your channels btw
The pastry you can also do with Apples or Pears. Maybe add a pinch of cinnamon on the apples.
For the watermelon, grill and chill it then chop it and make a salad with all the ingredients you used. It'd be easier to eat. 😊
You should try Japanese Pop Rocks! It's Meisan-Japan Pachi Pachi crackling candy, the flavors are great and the pops are way more intense!
Baskin-Robins used to have a pop rocks sherbet called Rock ‘n Pop Swirl. it was amazing.
That Ice cream is giving Baskins Robbins shooting star vibes
Rachel You have to try this!
Cut the same pastry squares score an outside border and bake till puffed up and golden, push the middle down with a spoon leaving a border NOW for the best part cut figs and place on the pastry drizzle a small amount of honey and top with goats chease. Bake till melted and dig in! * you can substitute with fig jam but omit the honey.
Might I suggest some tajin seasoning on watermelon OR since you love margaritas like I do and you TOO want to make everything a margarita - tajin rim around a margarita glass or even lime flavored hard seltzer with fresh squeezed lime in it. SO GOOD!
That watermelon reminds me of my family’s Xmas salad staple- fresh watermelon cubes with feta mint and sliced red onions (soaked in lime juice) then dressed with the (now pink) lime juice- Yummmm! (Ok I’m the original also has black olives, but I HATE olives, so I don’t add them!)🤷♀️🥰
With the peaches, did you try patting them dry from the juice first? Cause I feel like it be OK if they weren’t as saturated with juice
Watermelon, mint, red onion, feta. Make that into a salad. Delicious. Let that meddle together. Oh and fresh black pepper.
This is my comfort channel.
I ran into a recipe last summer that any time we fired up the grill we made sure we had grapes on hand to toss on the grill. They are amazing! I think they originally were a garnish for a cheese plate I was doing. Obviously mixed with cheese and all the fun of a charcuterie would make a better video but don't save the trick for just that. Toss those babies on any time you can.
Such an interesting suggestion! Would they need to be those big globe grapes or can you use smaller grapes on a pan on the grill? It seems like red grapes would be tastier than green (but honestly that's my preference, anyway). Which works best in your opinion?
@@susanjeffries5108 we used big ones directly on the grill but smaller ones should work with a grill pan.
Yeah your camera loves the reverse bokeh 😅
I love making [moo-chi] ❤
The pastry, buy frozen peaches. Use 1/2 the amount of peaches, use less honey, add a small slice of brie or blue cheese then put the pastry dough on top.
You will LOVE it!!
Try an egg wash on the puff pasty for extra crispness. That can help mitigate the sogginess of the canned peaches.
LOVE grilled watermelon
Maybe with the pastry try slices of apple with a sprinkle of cinnamon 🤔 that does sound pretty good....think I might try that myself lol
The puff pastry needs to be cooked at a much higher temp... I don't think I've ever cooked puff pastry under 400... If you wanted to try it again I bet that would help it come out better. I would also use frozen peaches over canned ones. Slicing them thinner, adding a little sugar to them, and letting them drain in a colander before drying them off will also keep them from being overly juicy. Love your videos as always. ❤
Fresh salmon, I usally use a whole side with skin on. Cover the side with no skin with lime juice (freshly pressed with the pulp!), crushed black pepper and grated lime peels. Grill under cover on low heat so you do it not to fast and just enough so you think the fish is done. Take fresh new potato (the small ones typical for early summer right from the field that you don't need to peel). Put in aluminium foil with salt, pepper, butter, garlic and dill and put it in the embers to cook under the fish. Serve with a sauce made from creamfraiche (or youghurt) with a lot of lime and honey. That's one of my favorite summer foods :-)
For the peach pastry I think you could still use canned peaches just cut them more thinly like in the TikTok
What kind of honey do you have? It’s so light compared to any we have here and I’m so interested!
if you want to try the upside down peach dessert again, after you've drained the canned peaches and place them in the oven on low (or in the air fryer, again on low) for a bit to help dry them out a touch before assembling the whole dessert.. I literally watched someone earlier today do a similar dessert, but did sliced apple (granny smith) instead of peaches.
