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!🍽

Mango Chili Shrimp & Scallop Kebabs Recipe | Club Foody

 

Summer is my Zen 🧘‍♀️, my happy place! I find time to relax, and try to focus on the “now”, not on the past and not on my worries about the future. I’m physically more active, I spend more time outside, and I also love firing up the BBQ!
 
Barbecuing is my ultimate foody time! The grilled foods have that beautiful smoky taste and aroma 😋. Another reason is I don’t have to heat up the kitchen plus, it’s the perfect outdoor spot to cook when friends and family come over.
 
There are almost 100 BBQ recipes on Club Foody, and there are more coming every year. Recently, I shared a few like Moroccan Beef Patties, Baja Shrimp Tacos, Peruvian Grilled Chicken 🐓, Polynesian Pork Ribs, Mediterranean Lamb Burgers, as well as this featured one: Mango Chili Shrimp & Scallop Kebabs!
 
These are incredibly tasty! With a mix of sweet and spicy, this vibrant, colorful BBQ recipe is ideal for entertaining. It’s the perfect grilled meal for any seafood lover 🦐🦞! From start to finish, it takes less than 30 minutes before you can enjoy this delicious summer dish!
 
What makes this Mango Chili Shrimp & Scallop Kebabs recipe so amazing is obviously the sauce 🥣. One of its main components is my homemade Sweet Chili Sauce It gives the perfect balance of sweet, slightly spicy, and tangy without overpowering the seafood.
 
When threading the food on the skewers, make sure the shrimp 🍤 are pierced twice so they don’t fall off between the grates. For the scallops, try to find the big ones like Sea Scallops, which are between 1 ½ to 2 inches across. You should avoid the Bay Scallops as they are about 1/3 the size and might fall off when grilling.
 
I normally use metal skewers when making kebabs. If you opt for the wooden ones, make sure to soak them for at least 30 minutes in water before grilling to prevent them from catching fire 🧯. I know we’re barbecuing, but to a certain degree… food doesn’t need to be burnt, lol!
 
Another important step that many disregard is leaving space between each ingredient on the skewer. It just needs a small gap, which is enough to allow the hot air 🌀 to circulate, providing even cooking. If not, the pieces will block the heat flow and steam instead of grilling, leaving them undercooked.
 
As I mentioned above, this is a quick recipe to make. To avoid confusion, when I film 🎥, I try to be cohesive by showing step-by-step instead of going back and forth, unless I really have no choice. When there’s no camera rolling, this is how I proceed with my recipe…
 
I start with the sauce, and while I let it cool off for 10 minutes ⏳, I begin assembling the kebabs, which takes maybe 7 minutes at most. Then I start the BBQ and grease the grates. I go back inside and process the sauce in the blender. I go back outside with the sauce and grill the kebabs; 25 minutes in total.
 
With a gorgeous sauce, these Mango Chili Shrimp & Scallop Kebabs are certainly a must-try this summer. With a savory tropical flavor, this is a recipe everyone will love 😍! Serve them with either white or coconut rice, sprinkle on some finely chopped cilantro, and enjoy them with more sauce on the side…
Bon Appétit! 🍽

Smoky Porky Burgers Recipe • BBQ Perfection! | Club Foody

 

These days, most people barbecue all year round but summer is THE season for that! Just the smell of a BBQ triggers my appetite – my sense of smell 👃 is amazing so is the size of my stomach, lol!
 
Here are a few of my favorite BBQ recipes that I just “have” to make every year: Turkish Kebabs, Rotisserie Chicken, BBQ Pork Ribs, Grilled Fish Tacos, and many others…
 
Often, David and I were cycling 🚴‍♀️🚴‍♂️, and I was on a “detox” which means no food or drink, strictly my “juice”. Then, all of a sudden, I got a whiff of the smell of a BBQ, and that was it… my detox was out the window! David always loves to tease me about it – “She’s back on the ‘See Food, Eat Food’ diet”, as he likes to say. Right from the start, it takes so much willpower to be on a detox program, and I know I can do it, but when it comes to BBQ and the smell, I’m just powerless 😞!
 
There are certain food items that are sinfully delicious! One of them, and I’m sure you’ll agree, is BACON 🥓! A little bit of bacon makes a big difference in a recipe! The smokiness of it brings amazing flavor to any dish, like it does in these Smoky Porky Burgers… blame it on the bacon!
 
One comfort food I enjoy a lot is burgers! I like the combination of the toasted buns, grilled seasoned meat, and some yummy condiments to top everything off! This is what I call “a perfect bite”! Because summer is grilling 🔥 season, sharing another burger recipe like my Smoky Porky Burgers is something I just had to do!
 
I know, I know, the name is quite enticing, especially if you watch what you eat. But let’s be real here; this is one of those dishes you want to indulge in! It’s summer, it’s nice outside, and there’s nothing stopping you from enjoying a tasty burger 🍔 such as these Smoky Porky Burgers! Next time you want to fire up the BBQ and enjoy a super flavorful burger, don’t look any further, and give this recipe a try… it’s sinfully delicious!
Bon Appétit!🍽

BBQ Beef Shish Kebabs Recipe • So Flavorful! | Club Foody

 

Summer is here, and that means flip-flops, shorts, t-shirts 👕, meals on the patio, and of course… barbecuing. It’s a pleasure to have friends and family over for dinner and cook on the barbecue. It’s casual, relaxing, and flavorful! All this sounds perfect, but do you feel that you always cook the same old food on the barbecue?
 
I love variety otherwise, it can get boring. Yes, steaks 🥩 are awesome on the barbecue, as well as chicken breasts, burgers, and hot dogs, but there’s a point where I want other options beyond these basic BBQ’d food items.
 
Here’s a great recipe… BBQ Beef Shish Kebabs! As you may already know, shish kebabs were invented when medieval soldiers used their swords to grill meat over an open fire 🔥… makes sense, right?
 
Originally, lamb 🐏 was the most common protein that was used for kebabs. These days, nothing is stopping us from using other proteins like beef, pork, chicken, fish, and seafood. Here are a few more delicious recipes you might want to check out, like my Turkish Kebabs, Creole Shrimp & Andouille Skewers, Greek Ouzo Pork Kebabs, Yakitori Chicken Skewers, and Chicken Chapli Kebabs.
 
My BBQ Beef Shish Kebabs recipe is not complicated, and the flavors are amazing! As I mentioned in the video 🎥, the secret to a good kebab is the marinade. There are “tons” of marinade recipes available out there, but I know you’ll enjoy mine. The combination of ingredients is absolutely beautiful, giving a great flavor to the beef. There’s no need to marinate beyond the 2-hour mark…
 
You can use any vegetables you like, but if you want to make them like mine, all the ingredients and amounts are mentioned below. So let’s take our BBQ skewers (“modern swords”) over to the fire… ahem… I mean BBQ, and let’s get cooking 👩‍🍳👨‍🍳!
Bon Appétit!🍽
