OF CLEVELAND, OH, ASKS: I see the watermelon recipes on the blog and they all look so good, but I don\u2019t know where to start when it comes to choosing a recipe. Do you have any suggestions? What are your favorite watermelon recipes?<\/h3>\n<p>I hear you, Mindy. I get the same option paralysis with certain 20-page restaurant menus. Burgers, pizzas, pasta, steaks \u2013 how am I supposed to choose just one? I\u2019m the same way with watermelon recipes. I\u2019ve been meaning to incorporate watermelon into my meals and cook with it more often, but when it comes time to choose a recipe, I can\u2019t seem to make up my mind. Of those I did make up my mind on, these are my favorites:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span class=\"removed_link\" title=\"http:\/\/www.watermelon.org\/recipe_detail.asp?recipeDisp=150\">Watermelon Stacked Pancakes<\/span> \u2013 It\u2019s really just pancakes \u2013 which I love, and prepare two or three times a month for breakfast and\/or dinner \u2013 topped with diced watermelon. It doesn\u2019t get much easier than that.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span class=\"removed_link\" title=\"http:\/\/www.watermelon.org\/recipe_detail.asp?recipeDisp=16\">BCWTP<\/span> \u2013 This version of the classic BLT includes bacon, cheese, watermelon, tomato and pesto. \u2018Nuff said.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span class=\"removed_link\" title=\"http:\/\/www.watermelon.org\/recipe_detail.asp?recipeDisp=25\">Watermelon Cheddar Burgers<\/span> \u2013 I\u2019m a burger fanatic, so this one makes the list by default. It gets tons of bonus points for the lightly grilled slice of watermelon.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span class=\"removed_link\" title=\"http:\/\/www.watermelon.org\/recipe_detail.asp?recipeDisp=8\">Watermelon Pizza<\/span> \u2013 I don\u2019t care if this recipe is in the kids\u2019 section of the website. It\u2019s fun and delicious, and that\u2019s all that matters. I also like it because, just like real pizza, you can customize it with all sorts of toppings.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The common denominator in all of those recipes is that they\u2019re extremely simple to prepare, which is a plus for me. You can find all of them on the <span class=\"removed_link\" title=\"http:\/\/www.watermelon.org\/watermelon_recipe.asp\">National Watermelon Promotion Board\u2019s website<\/span>, along with many, many other recipes both simple and more complicated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MINDY K.
