Elotes • Grilled Mexican Street Corn Recipe | Club Foody

 

Since my first visit to Mexico back in 1988, I’ve always liked its food! Immensely flavorful, Mexican cuisine has been one of my top five. When David and I started going down there yearly, we discovered so many incredible dishes that we fell in love 💖 with and added to our repertoire.
 
A couple of years ago, while vacationing in Puerto Vallarta, my husband and I tried a popular street food. After our first bite, these ruined us forever, and now, we’re corn-on-the-cob snobs 🌽!!! I’m talking about Elotes • Grilled Mexican Street Corn!
 
First, the cobs are grilled on the barbecue 🔥 to bring a nice smoky flavor to them. Next, they’re slathered with a gorgeous creamy mayo sauce and topped with a Cotija cheese and cilantro mixture before being sprinkled with chili powder… totally an OMG!
 
Before being corrupted by this yummy recipe, I liked mine simply with butter 🧈 spread over it and some freshly ground black pepper. Now, every time we see corn cobs at our supermarket, we know exactly what to make just by looking at each other!
 
Contrary to Esquites, where the corn mixture is identical but served in a cup and eaten with a spoon, Elotes • Grilled Mexican Street Corn are deliciously messy! Each bite is fully covered with yumminess. Make sure to have plenty of napkins around… 😉
 
When it comes to the barbecue, it’s important to oil the grates prior to grilling the cobs. There are two ways to grill them: with or without the husks. It’s a matter of preference. At my grocery store 🛒, there’s always a box next to the cobs, and I normally clean them right on the spot.
 
If you prefer leaving the husks on, firstly remove the silk from each cob and then pull the husks back up. Second, soak them in very cold water for 20 minutes ⏰ to prevent them from catching on fire. Lastly, they will need more time to cook on the “barbie”, about 25 minutes versus 12-15.
 
The difference between with and without is that the pre-soaked husk cobs will be steamed, while the ones without the husks result in a nice charred, smokey flavor! During grilling, both have to be turned a ¼ turn every 3 to 5 minutes ⏳ (without) or 5 to 6 minutes (with).
 
Incredibly tasty, this mouthwatering Elotes • Grilled Mexican Street Corn recipe is absolutely delicious! Let me tell you, if you’ve never tried it before, you’re missing out on something fantastic! After tasting it, don’t be surprised you might lift your nose 👃 at regular corn on the cob and never go back again…
Bon Appétit! 🍽
UPDATE: If you don’t own a barbecue, to get a similar smoky flavor on the corn, stir 1/4 teaspoon of smoked paprika in the sauce.

Kansas City-Style Pork Ribs Recipe • Tender & Tasty! | Club Foody

 

If I were asked to name my 3 favorite barbecue recipes, I’m not sure I would be able to 🤔.
 
There’s Rotisserie Chicken, which I really love, but there’s also Peri Peri Chicken. A nice juicy burger is so yummy, but so is a beautiful T-bone steak 🥩! The same applies to a lovely Blackened Grilled Fish, Tuna Steaks, etc.
 
Despite my inability 😏 to answer that simple question, there’s another one that David and I really like to grill, and it’s ribs. It can be my Canadian Smoky Pork Ribs, Asian-Style Beef Short Ribs, BBQ Pork Ribs or this one… my Kansas City-Style Pork Ribs!
 
This recipe is pretty straightforward. After prepping and portioning the ribs, a dry rub is applied all over the meat, including the sides. Then, they’re wrapped tightly in foil and chilled. Later on, they’re grilled in the foil for hours before finishing them directly on the grill 🔥, brushed generously with BBQ sauce.
 
This recipe requires just 3 ingredients!
My Kansas City Dry Rub, my Kansas City BBQ Sauce, and of course, the ribs!
 
I enjoy making my own rubs from scratch. There’s my Fish Rub 🐟, Smoky BBQ Rub, Coffee Cocoa Rub, and this one… Kansas City Dry Rub. Freshly made, they’re all stored in airtight containers in a cool, dark area and keep very well for 4 to 6 months.
 
Another component of these Kansas City-Style Pork Ribs is the sauce. Like any respectable grilled food, they need a tasty one. My Kansas City BBQ Sauce is among them! I have other ones as well (of course I do! 😉) like Teriyaki, Caribbean BBQ Sauce, Spicy Strawberry Orange Sauce, and others.
 
When it comes to the ribs, there’s an important step to follow each time, and it’s to remove the membrane on the back of the ribs. Also called “silver skin”, the membrane doesn’t soften when cooked, and the result is that it will become tough and chewy. It doesn’t break down, so pull it off before grilling.
 
These Kansas City-Style Pork Ribs are amazing 😋! Tender and juicy, these are definitely a must-try! With a tasty combination of both Kansas City Dry Rub and Kansas City BBQ Sauce, they’re sure to become a hit this summer!
Bon Appétit! 🍽

Scallop Pineapple Ceviche Recipe • Light and Tasty! | Club Foody

 

Who doesn’t like eating outside on a patio… certainly not me! That’s one thing about summer that I really adore; the fresh air with a warm, calm breeze, watching the sunset go down ⛅ and just enjoying the weather while eating… priceless! To me, having a meal outside is a form of relaxation that I truly appreciate.
 
When it’s nice outside and people are eating on a patio, grilling foods on the barbecue is quite obvious. There’s no need to start the oven inside and heat up the house 🏡. Burgers, Hot Dogs, Steaks, Grilled Fish, Chicken, Kebabs, and so on are the popular ones we’ll all be enjoying this season. Sometimes though, it’s nice to have a change. Something light, fresh, and very tasty… something like a ceviche!
 
In the past, I’ve shared my delicious Ceviche de Pescado (Fish Ceviche 🐟) with you, and this time, here’s another one of my creations… Scallop Pineapple Ceviche! Oh my! This dish is so flavorful!
 
When I made 👩‍🍳 this recipe the first time, I wanted to achieve the perfect harmony of heat and slight sweetness with a little tang in the background without taking away from the delicate flavor of the scallops. It was bang on!
 
Another reason why I love serving this Scallop Pineapple Ceviche to friends and family is that it doesn’t require any cooking. Are the scallops raw? NO, absolutely not! When submerging the seafood in citrus juice 🍋, the acidity will actually cook the scallops and turn the flesh opaque and firm. This method has been used since colonial times. Here’s a great link to Extract the Most Juice from Citrus Fruits
 
Heat kills bacteria, whereas citric acid won’t, so it’s very, and I mean very important to use fresh scallops. If you’re not sure about how fresh they are, quickly “blanch” the seafood for 90 seconds ⏳.
 
I love scallops, and I have a few recipes with them. Check them out: Bay Scallop Chowder, Coquilles St Jacques, Scallops with Smoky Cream Corn Sauce 🌽, Sautéed Scallops with Beurre Blanc, Maple Ginger Scallops, Blood Orange Miso Scallops, Scallops and Roasted Chestnut Soup, and more to come…
 
This Scallop Pineapple Ceviche is the perfect dish to make for your guests during the hot summer months 🌴😎. It’s a great appetizer to serve along with tortilla chips. It can also be a main course if you want to enjoy a light meal out on the patio with a glass of white wine – definitely Zen!
Bon Appétit!🍽

Blueberry Cream Soda Float Recipe • Delicious! | Club Foody

 

I think most of us will agree that the ultimate treat on a hot summer day is ice cream! It’s cold, creamy, tasty, and refreshing. Ice cream is very nostalgic, bringing back profound happy memories from our childhood, like days at the cottage, birthday parties 🥳, trips with family, and so on.
 
Another one that is dear to me is floats! Each time my parents, brother, and I returned from the beach 🌊, we would have a big bucket of Kentucky Fried Chicken with all the goodies that came with it, and for dessert, it was a float.
 
My mother’s favorite was vanilla ice cream with pink cream soda. It was awesome as it tasted like bubblegum. Daniel and I liked it too but we were more inclined to stronger flavors, such as Cherry Cola Float, Orange Creamsicle 🍊, or this one… Blueberry Cream Soda Float!
 
This quick and easy recipe takes less than 5 minutes ⏳ to put together. The combination of sweetness from the berries, the fizzy cream soda, along with an intense hint of blueberry flavor from the simple syrup, and the creamy vanilla ice cream, makes this a heavenly tall glass of yumminess!
 
Before adding a couple scoops of vanilla ice cream, I like chilling my milkshake glasses. I didn’t prior to filming because I didn’t have any space in my freezer; it was filled all the way to the top. I suggest you chill your glasses for a good 30 minutes ⏰ if you can.
 
Two generous scoops are dropped into these tall glasses, using my No-Churn Vanilla Bean Ice Cream. To enhance the taste of this Blueberry Cream Soda Float, I add some of my Blueberry Simple Syrup. Frankly, you should have this condiment on hand. It’s perfect for mixing cocktails 🍹 and also for recipes.
 
Then top them off with white cream soda. If you want, you can enjoy it as is, but (of course!) I prefer garnishing with fresh blueberries and drizzling on some Blueberry Simple Syrup. It’s like the cherry 🍒 on top of the sundae… well, in this case, blueberries!
 
Ice cream floats have been around since the 1870s. Although this delicious and colorful Blueberry Cream Soda Float is an enhanced modern version of the classic, it’s nonetheless a nostalgic, refreshing, cold treat to enjoy on a hot summer day 😎🌴…
Bon Appétit! 🍽

Summer Creamy Coleslaw Recipe • Tasty Side Dish! | Club Foody

 

Everyone has their favorite season, and mine is definitely summer, although I really enjoy autumn with its beautiful colors 🍂 and fresh, cool air.
 
There are so many reasons why summer is my favorite: nice hot weather, my open-toed sandals 👡 (yes, I realize I’ve mentioned them quite a few times… I love them!), outdoor activities like golfing, cycling, swimming, hiking, and so on, plus the food! Everything seems to taste better. The freshness of the produce and the availability make me want to eat more of it.
 
I serve salad 🥗 a few times a week throughout the year as it’s so healthy for us, but I really enjoy having it more during the summer. I can have 3 to 4 meals a week with strictly salad, nothing else! All right, maybe as a side with some grilled foods – I love BBQ season!
 
There’s one particular vegetable that I was never really fond of, and it’s cabbage. Growing up, everyone in my family loved it except for me; it must have something to do with the taste, smell, or texture. Ironically, I fell in love with David, who is German. Should I continue? Yes, that’s right! Germans love their cabbage… it’s like the French and their cheese 🧀! Fair enough!
 
Last year, I posted my – or should I say “his” – German Red Cabbage recipe. I went out of my way to give cabbage another chance to prove me wrong. Guess who won 🏆? Cabbage! David’s side dish is an amazing recipe and I really enjoy it!
 
Since then, I’ve been eating more cabbage. I still have a slight problem when cabbage is cooking because of the smell, but other than that, the taste is perfectly fine with me. Keep in mind that our tastes do change with time… or is it because of my feelings 🥰 toward my partner?
 
Now, it was my turn to do something with cabbage. I challenged myself by coming up with this recipe… Summer Creamy Coleslaw. Creating a dish with an ingredient that I never would have imagined I would enjoy one day was a success on its own! Back then, I was working for an American food website as a Food/Recipe Analyst, and I submitted this recipe to them. After it was posted it, I actually bragged about it to my family members and friends. I know, it’s childish, but I was so proud of myself. C’mon! Frankie creating a recipe with cabbage… impossible 😮!
 
While creating this Summer Creamy Coleslaw recipe, I had to use another one of my homemade recipes… my mayonnaise! Perhaps that’s what makes this coleslaw so amazing. Unless you have made homemade mayo before, you have no clue how flavorful and fresh mayo can be! If you’re a “foody”, you have to put this on your “must-try” list 📑…
 
Anything is possible… well, that’s what I’ve heard; don’t quote me on it! I love the combination of the dressing with the freshness of the ingredients. If this doesn’t scream summer 🌴🌻 out loud, then I don’t know what does! It’s bright, colorful, sweet & savory with a nice, fresh, crisp bite to it.
 
This Summer Creamy Coleslaw Salad is perfect with any meal, and unless there’s a picky little eater 👧 around like I was when I was young, everyone will love it!
Bon Appétit!🍽
