Trace only the side wing portion of the pattern (see photo 2). , Mark the ends of the traced lines on each side of the melon with toothpicks. Mark the center of this area with another toothpick. Beginning in the middle and working toward the toothpicks, cut four tall peaks (as shown in photo 3) into the rind to form the tail. Remove the toothpicks after cutting., With knife, retrace designs, cutting deeper into melon. Cut and remove unwanted portions of rind in small sections (see photo 4)., Remove and discard seeds.

AMARANTH BREAKFAST FRUIT BOWL - ELIMINATION DIET
Cooked amaranth, berries, maple syrup, cinnamon and a splash of rice milk so much better than oatmeal!! This has become a staple for me on this Elimination Diet. I cook up a big batch of amaranth. Then, throughout the week I can put this together in under 5 minutes. Great for a quick breakfast or yummy filing desert. I love the "pop" of the amaranth! I use the 3 berry frozen mix from Costco. Frozen fruit is a must for me as I am doing this diet in the middle of winter. Use whatever non-dairy, non-soy milk you choose. I like rice milk. Adjust the toppings to your liking. Time to cook does NOT include the cooking of the amaranth. AMARANTH: This grain cooks up soupy. Don't add salt to the amaranth while cooking.

- Add some crunch: Add some crunchy elements to your fruit bowl, such as nuts, seeds, or granola. This will add texture and flavor to the bowl.
- Drizzle with a dressing: Drizzle the fruit bowl with a simple dressing, such as honey, yogurt, or citrus juice. This will help to enhance the flavors of the fruits and make them even more delicious.
