Don't make any of these mistakes the next time you go shopping for a watermelon at the store or market. It is watermelon season in many parts of the country. That means you should have access to locally grown watermelon. But don't assume that. Always make sure to check the sticker on the watermelon. Where are the watermelons coming from? This time of year you shouldn't be buying a watermelon that was picked in Mexico, when local options are available.

There's no comparison between this and the canned version, and your slow cooker does almost all the work. This creamed corn gets its rich texture from cream cheese, butter, and cream melting together as it cooks low and slow. Blending just half the corn at the end keeps it thick and creamy while still leaving plenty of whole kernels in every bite.
