Tonight’s dinner ended up being a bit of a bust.
Why?
Because I got full on fruit beforehand.
This afternoon I worked on a freelance piece about melons and had to take some pictures to send along with my article showcasing the fruit.
I used a melon baller to scoop out a watermelon, cantaloupe and honeydew and ate so much fruit in the process that I was so stinkin’ full by the time I was done photographing my melon kebabs.
I think a lot of my fullness may also be attributed to eating tons of the dip that I made for with the kebabs.
The dip was incredibly easy and only required two ingredients!

About an hour after my normal dinner time, I felt like I should eat something again and used the remaining goat cheese and honey dip as a spread on top of a toasted whole wheat English muffin.
Not exactly a typical meal, but there are worse things than eating bucketloads of fruit, goat cheese and honey for dinner!
I’m heading off to read some more of the June book club book! Anyone else started it yet? Thoughts?

Your fruit kebabs look so pretty! Those would be perfect for a big dinner or a party. I have definitely filled up on snacks and killed my appetite for dinner many times. You’re right – there are much worse things to snack on than fruit! And summer fruit is just too good to resist 🙂
Omg that dip looks amazing and the fruit looks so pretty!! Josh and I always buy honey goat cheese because of how good the sweetness tastes along with the tart. I really want to try making my own now, thanks so much!
Those kebabs look so cute! What a fun idea!
I’m about half way through the book…I love it. Funny and informative all at the same time!
This would be awesome swirled into brownies. And/or as filling for sandwich cookies.
Did you post this recipe a looong way back?? I swear I remember it!
ohmygosh I love that! So simple, but sometimes those are the best. I am in love with goat cheese and I can’t wait to try this!
I’ve done that many a time … but I’m usually filling up on something less healthy, like cookies or brownies! 😉
Oh man, I wish you called it “goat cheese honey dip” instead of “honey goat cheese dip,” because I keep associating the honey and goat instead of the goat and cheese!! honey goat, cheese dip. Hahah 🙂
I dont think spoiling your appetite with delicious fruit is such a bad thing:) honey and goat cheese is definately a combo i would of never thought of.
That sounds so good! I’m definitely trying it if it’s that simple! I started the book club book and I’m enjoying it so far. Some parts more than others, but overall I think it’s interesting and humorous.
I’ve been listening to the book on tape and I find that I have been purposely finding things to do so I can listen to it as much as possible (while I workout, clean, etc.). I loved his first two books and this one is definitely not disappointing! I’ll probably be done within the week!
I just bought a Costco portion of goat cheese today and was trying to come up with something different and fun, perfect timing, that looks delicious!
I love the saltiness of goat cheese, but I’m not a fan of honey. I honestly don’t really like the taste of any liquid sweetener other than corn syrup, maple syrup, and molasses if it’s in cookies.
That dip looks great and I love those fruit kebabs! Now I have a craving for melon 🙂
I’m only a few chapters into the book but so far it has had me laughing out loud a few times. The author is so brutally honest and funny. I especially like the way he describes his interactions with his skeptical wife. I guess that’s not the point of the book but it’s too soon for me to have any opinions about his research yet. 🙂
oh my goodness! honey goat cheese is the bomb-dot-com! my boyfriend refuses to eat that kind of cheese any other way, and it is SO addicting…thank goodness it is healthy 😉
The fruit kebabs look/sound so good right now! I will have to remember that idea along with the dip for one of my Summer get togethers with friends. I bet they would be a hit with kids, too!!
I do the same thing when preparing fruit! all that water content sure is filling, so good though! I’m a big fan of honey as sweetener, it works great for almost anything!
This looks absolutely amazing! Goat cheese + fruit sounds like such a great combo!
I’m not too far along in the book yet, but I’m enjoying it so far. Funny, interesting…perfect bed-time reading. 🙂
I haven’t had a chance to start the new book because I just finished Insurgent!!! Soo good and so bummed the 3rd book doesnt come out till fall ’13! Did you read it yet?
i still have to! so glad to hear it was a winner!
that looks so good! Gonna have to try it for the next time I have a party!!
I bet this mixture would be killer in cheesecake!…or just atop of Graham crackers!
How fun! I love goat cheese with strawberries! It’s probably me favourite fruit/cheese combo!
YUMM!! Those kebabs and dip look awesome and tasty!
I am known to fill up on fruit before AND after dinner! It can be good because then I won’t over eat, but bad because I’m too full to enjoy my dinner! We’ve got to find the happy medium!
PS: Are you going to the Healthy Living Summit this year?!
i don’t think i am, but i had a great time last year!
What an interesting dip! Love goat cheese!
Oh MY GOD . Chevre may be one of my favorite cheeses- how did I never think to pair it with fruit and honey!??? This is one of my favorite posts ever!
Cannot wait to try this out. My mouth is watering.

Your fruit kebabs are beautiful! I’m really intrigued by that dip though. I love goat cheese, but I’ve never thought of adding honey to it. I can’t quite imagine what it would taste like…I must experiment 🙂
The fruit looks so fresh and yummy! That dip sounds great! 🙂 I’ve never had goat cheese before. I’ve always wanted to try it.
I neeeeeeed to pick your brain about freelance!! It’s my hearts desire – just don’t know how to break in!
That dip looks awesome! Definitely nothing wrong with fruit, goat cheese, and honey for dinner once in a while 😉
I’m not a big fan of goat cheese, but this looks too good not to try!
This is such a great idea as a snack or a dessert! And, the fruit kabobs came out really cute. I also think that if you add a little thyme and bake the dip it could be a delicious savory appetizer.
That fruit dip looks delicious! I’m definitely gonna try it, just need to pick up some goat cheese!
That dip looks dangerous!!!
YUM! Looks delicious! I made your PB energy bites. I swapped out the wheat germ for almond meal and the sugar for stevia. They are SO good!
That looks delish. I’ve been making a pasta sauce with goat cheese and greek yogurt. Wonder if that would work here for a little bit more protein?
Wow this dip needs to happen tonight! I’m on such a goat cheese kick lately!
Omg! That dip sounds amazing! Love goat cheese & love honey – what could be bad ?
I’m only about 75 pages in, but I’m LOVING the book so far! It’s fascinating and I love the writing style! Good pick!
Yum looks fantastic!
