Italian Meatball Sub Recipe • Always a Favorite! | Club Foody

 

Like thousand of others, David and I like sandwiches. They’re very convenient as they can be eaten almost anywhere, they’re easy to make, plus affordable 💰! There are so many varieties of sandwich recipes out there and combinations to make.
 
Although we have them more often during the summer time, we still enjoy them when it’s cold outside 🥶. There’s Hot Chicken Sandwich, Grilled Cheese Sandwich along with a nice hot tomato soup, Stromboli, Tuna Melt, Reubens, French Dip, Falafel Pitas, Sloppy Joe, Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich, etc.
 
Another one we really enjoy during this time of year is Italian Meatball Sub! Loaded with yumminess, this crusty sandwich is the BEST 🏆🥇! Made with homemade meatballs and sauce along with hoagies spread with garlic herb butter plus topped with cheeses, this is comfort food to the max!
 
Italian Meatball Sub originated from the Italian-American communities back in the late 19th century and early 20th century. They were using long Italian-style rolls filled with meatballs, tomato sauce 🍅 and topped with mild cheese like Provolone or Mozzarella. Today, there are many different variations of this finger food.
 
Making this satisfying meal is pretty quick ⏳ as long as the sauce is already made and so are the meatballs. For the sauce, I go either with Meatless Spaghetti Sauce or the Classic Marinara. When it comes to the meatballs, they can be made ahead. They’re covered with the sauce and kept warm until needed.
 
The hoagie rolls are sliced lengthwise but not all the way through… just like hot dog buns and then, tops and bottoms are hollowed down to about ½-inch deep. This will create a nice comfortable spot for the meatballs 🧆 to sit without rolling out.
 
Besides homemade sauce and meatballs, there’s also my Garlic Herb Butter 🧈🧄 which gives a delicious impact on this classic. It’s important to cover the entire surface of the hoagie rolls because if we don’t, when placed under the broiler the first time, they might get very dark. It basically works like a barrier.
 
After being placed on a baking sheet lined with foil, the buttered hoagies are transferred to the oven under the broiler and toasted no more than a minute and 15 seconds… ⏰ I’m serious, otherwise, they’ll get very brown.
 
When the rolls come out, 3 meatballs per hoagie are placed in the hollowed bottom before being topped with Havarti or Swiss cheese halves 🧀. Then, they’re back again under the broiler for 1:30 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
 
For the final touch, some sauce is spooned over the melted cheese and then Parmesan cheese and parsley are sprinkled on top. Voilà! Here’s how easy it is to make 👩‍🍳👨‍🍳 this amazing meal!
 
This Italian Meatball Sub recipe is super easy to make and always a hit! The added Garlic Herb Cheese elevates this simple and yet so tasty dish! It’s one of our favorite 💖 fall/winter finger foods and after trying it, I’m sure it will become yours as well!
Bon Appétit! 🍽

Lining a Square Pan with Parchment Paper - Tips & Tricks | Club Foody

 

For Thanksgiving 🦃 and other Holidays and events, most people do more baking. Depending on the recipe, the pans often have to be lined with parchment paper. The round ones are easy to line but what about the other shaped pans such as rectangular or square?
 
When dealing with other shaped pans 🟪, the method is slightly technical but definitely not difficult. In this episode, I show you how to do it by Lining a Square Pan with Parchment Paper which is exactly the same technique for rectangular ones.
 
Trying to lie your parchment paper flat inside those pans is impossible without doing this technique. I’m not crafty whatsoever and I find it super easy to do. It takes just a couple minutes ⏳ to measure and cut…
 
For Christmas 🎄, I go crazy with baking. I like making my Nutella Fudge, Blondies, Lemon Sheet Cake, Brownies, Pumpkin Bars, and so on. All of them can stick to the pan so to prevent them from doing so, I do this tip… Lining a Square Pan with Parchment Paper.
 
After the parchment paper is measured 📏 and cut including creating a couple flaps at each corner, I like to do this extra step…
I place the prepped paper in the pan and then I fold the 4 flaps behind the long side of the paper. Simple, right? The reason is it keeps the batter from leaking behind the paper. It might not make too much sense but by watching the video, you’ll understand what I’m talking about.
 
Lining a Square Pan with Parchment Paper helps release the baked goods without sticking, makes the shape neater plus the cleanup 🧼 is a breeze. There’s a lot of frustration and stress that can be avoided by simply doing this method…
Bon Appétit! 🍽

Maple Glazed Walnuts Recipe • Tasty & Versatile! | Club Foody

 

David and I like snacky foods especially on movie nights 🎬! He enjoys his Cretors Popcorn or BBQ chips while I have my plain chips with my onion chip dip or my seaweed snack. Other times, we share a bucket of Cracker Jack, have tortilla chips with salsa or roasted squash seeds.
 
When it comes to sweets, we definitely go for cold treats like ice creams 🍦, gelatos or floats during the summer while the rest of the year, we munch on Fig Newtons Cookies, Pirate Cookies, Twinkies, Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, Twizzlers, etc.
 
Nuts are another favorite of ours. It can be some trail mix, peanuts 🥜, almonds, cashews, pecans, or walnuts. As much as they’re good on their own, I like to give the walnuts a flavor boost by turning them into Maple Glazed Walnuts!
 
These are simply amazing plus incredibly versatile! Besides being a nice sweet snack on their own, they can be used as a topping for cereals, oatmeal or even salads 🥗. They also make a great addition for a charcuterie board. In addition, I use them to decorate my Maple Walnut Cake.
 
Another plus about these Maple Glazed Walnuts is they take 6 to 7 minutes ⏳ to make. What takes the most time is allowing them to cool before transferring to the fridge for a couple of hours to help dry them out.
 
Talking about drying them…
Until recently, I used to place them in a single layer on wax or parchment paper. I realized that many of them were sticking to the paper. I decided to put them straight on the baking sheet without paper… much better. At least, there’s no tiny paper bits sticking to the nuts 😉.
 
Also, after chilling the walnuts for a couple hours ⏰, I remove the tray from the fridge and release the walnuts from the bottom of the baking sheet before returning them to the fridge. I repeat that a few times until they no longer stick to the tray – it might take 3 to 4 times before this happens.
 
This delicious Maple Glazed Walnuts recipe is easy to make plus so versatile! With only 3 ingredients, they’re a great snack to munch on! Add them to your charcuterie board, a topper for salads, cereals or oatmeal, decorate your cake 🍰 with them, and more. Add hot paprika or cayenne for another tasty twist!
Bon Appétit! 🍽

Pork Loin Chops in Creamy Spinach Sauce Recipe | Club Foody

 

Did you know that the top 3 most consumed proteins worldwide 🌏 are chicken, pork and beef? I think eggs should be squeezed in there too. Interestingly enough, pork is the most eaten meat… I would think that chicken would be the frontrunner.
 
I have a lot of pork recipes on the website like Ham & Asparagus Crêpes with Cheese Sauce, Asian Pork Tenderloin, Pork Chops with Spicy Peach Sauce, Pizza Dip, Pork Vindaloo, Denver Omelet, and hundreds 💯 more. Here’s another one to add to this extensive list… Pork Loin Chops in Creamy Spinach Sauce!
 
This 30-minute recipe is simply amazing! It’s super easy to make with delicious results! Of course, the sauce is what makes this dish! It has fresh ingredients and nice seasonings along with heavy cream, chicken broth and white wine. Although it’s with pork loin chops, chicken 🐓 is a tasty alternative!
 
This recipe all started because David is not a big fan of spinach. I got it! It’s not for everyone but it’s a shame as this leafy green vegetable has incredible health benefits. It’s good for skin, hair, bones 🦴, plus it contains antioxidants, is a good source of fiber along with vitamins, and much more…
 
To integrate this vegetable 🍃 more often into our menu, I created this Pork Loin Chops in Creamy Spinach Sauce. There are also other dishes that I have come up with like Spinach & Ricotta Scrambled Eggs, Pumpernickel Spinach Dip, Creamy Tuscan Chicken, Torta Pasqualina, Pear Pomegranate Blue Cheese Salad, etc.
 
There’s a beautiful selection of seasonings that goes in. The meat 🐖 is generously seasoned with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. For the sauce, I only add my Herbes de Provence and a little bit of red pepper flakes giving enough oomph to wrap the dish up nicely!
 
If you have picky eaters when it comes to this leafy green vegetable, this Pork Loin Chops in Creamy Spinach Sauce is a great one to make! Served with steamed vegetables and mashed potatoes, this 30-minute ⏰ recipe is ideal for weeknight dinners
Bon Appétit! 🍽

Peanut Butter Banana Bread Recipe • So Tasty! | Club Foody

 

Who didn’t eat banana bread as a child?
It became popular during the Great Depression and WWII for a few reasons: it’s a delicious way to salvage this fruit, it’s nutritious 💚, it doesn’t need that much sugar due to the natural sweetness of these ripe bananas plus it’s a tasty comfort food.
 
Quick breads 🍞 are easy to make! I think of Apple Cinnamon, Cranberry-Orange & Almonds, Zucchini, Tropical Bread, and many others. The same applies with savory breads such as Onion Quick Bread, Jalapeño Cheddar Cornbread, Beer Bread, Bacon Parmesan, etc.
 
Probably the most well-liked 💖 when it comes to the sweet ones is banana bread. On the site, there’s my Pineapple Banana Bread with Coconut & Macadamia and Marbled Chocolate Pecan Banana Bread. One day, I decided to put another twist on this classic and came up with Peanut Butter Banana Bread!
 
David always buys bananas 🍌 and often, the ripest ones end up in the freezer. As I can’t stand eating the same thing plus needing some space in my freezer, I had no choice but to create another “banana bread” flavor.
 
This is a combination that I’m very familiar with! When I do eat breakfast, I like to have toast, spread on some peanut butter and then topped with banana slices along with a tall glass of milk 🥛. Once in a while, I might drizzle some Nutella on too. These ingredients grouped together are a match made in heaven!
 
The making of this Peanut Butter Banana Bread is quite easy. I use 4 overripe bananas – it helps to create space in my freezer -, and melted peanut butter. I use the creamy kind but crunchy is another option… it gives more texture to it. To melt it, I place it in the microwave for 1 minute ⏳ on “High”.
 
One that I don’t use is Natural Peanut Butter 🥜. I’m not a fan of its texture. It’s gritty and tends to separate more than regular ones that’s why it has to be stirred before using. There’s also no sugar in it. It’s healthier BUT it won’t give you the same results. If you go for it, adjust the sweetness accordingly.
 
In the video 🎥, I also add semi-sweet chocolate chips which is optional but highly recommended! I made this quick bread with and without it, and both versions were incredibly moist and tasty.
 
This Peanut Butter Banana Bread is a scrumptious way to enjoy this comfort food! It’s definitely an elevated version of the classic one! Loaded with yumminess, this is a great quick bread recipe to make 👩‍🍳👨‍🍳 and a delightful change from the regular ones!
Bon Appétit! 🍽
