Bing Cherry Pie Recipe • The Best Ever! | Club Foody

 

So far, I haven’t met anyone who doesn’t have something they like a lot… it seems they can never get enough! David loves his Puffed Wheat Squares while me it’s Onion Chip Dip! We do share a few though like chicken wings, watermelon, guacamolefig newtons cookies, and Bing cherries 🍒. We can finish a big bowl of these fruits in no time unless I make Canard aux MontmorencyBlack Cherry Ice CreamCherries Jubilee, use some in my Black Forest Cake, or this featured one… Bing Cherry Pie!
 
If you like this fruit as much as we do then you’re in for a real treat 😉! This dessert is amazingly delicious! Not too sweet, not too tart, this pie is just perfect and even more so with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream…
 
We both don’t like the traditional “cherry pie” using those sour cherries. On the other hand, this Bing Cherry Pie is totally an OMG 😍! As you should know by now, I like to intensify flavors and this recipe is no exception! It’s all about the filling…
 
After prepping the cherries which takes some time ⏰, I combine the fruits with Cherry Brandy. It simply enhances the taste of them. If you don’t want to use Cherry brandy or Cherry liqueur, substitute my Cherry Simple Syrup
 
When all the filling ingredients are combined, I use a slotted spoon and transfer them to a prepared pie shell – here’s my recipe for Foolproof Pie Dough. The liquid that’s left in the bowl, I pour into a small saucepan and simmer on medium for 5 minutes or until the sauce thickens. This step will help to bond the filling together instead of having it too runny and thin…
 
A step that a few friends do but I don’t is to lightly sprinkle some granulated sugar on top of the pie before transferring it to the oven. I know it’s a dessert but I think there’s enough sweetness in this dessert recipe to add any more… Once again, add some if you want.
 
Dark, decadent and absolutely delicious, this Bing Cherry Pie 🥧 can’t be beat. Served à la mode (topped with ice cream), this is a sweet treat to enjoy this summer…
Bon Appétit!🍽

Shrimp Sliders Recipe • Tasty & Original! | Club Foody

 

Burgers on the BBQ 🔥 are a must have during summer time! I love them and can’t imagine not having them at least once a month! Although grilling them on the “barbie” gives that incredible smoky flavor to burgers, they’re still amazing when grilled inside. Here’s a great recipe to make them indoors… my Shrimp Sliders!
 
These little guys are so tasty! With a nice balance of ingredients along with lovely seasonings, these Shrimp Sliders are a fantastic appetizer to make! They’re perfect when entertaining! Grilled nicely until golden, this is another way to enjoy shrimp… 🍤
 
After processing the shrimp and other ingredients in the food processor, the mixture will be minced and quite sticky. From there, it’s transferred to a bowl and then the other ½ pound of shrimp is added. It’s important to have them cut in very small pieces so it blends well into the mixture.
 
Another step that I want to highlight is the breadcrumbs. It’s easier to incorporate into the minced mixture by adding a ¼ cup at a time, stir well, add another ¼ cup, stir again before adding the last one. That way, the breadcrumbs are distributed evenly.
 
Before forming the patties, you’ll realize how sticky the mixture is. To have beautiful Shrimp Sliders, grease your hands with canola oil or any other flavorless oils. It will make the task easier to shape them and also faster… 😉
 
I like to make a quick spicy spread for them which is only two ingredients; mayo and sriracha! Simply mix these two together, cover and chill until ready to serve. It gives a slight spiciness and wraps everything up so nicely. To make mayo from scratch, click on this link… Homemade Mayonnaise
 
These flavorful Shrimp Sliders 🍔 are a fantastic appetizer to make anytime! With great ingredients and seasonings, they’re so delicious! Paired with a gorgeous spicy mayo sauce, it won’t be surprising if you can’t stop after having a couple…
Bon Appétit!🍽

Greek Tuna Pasta Salad Recipe • Summer Side! | Club Foody

 

Summer is about backyard parties, picnics, and days at the beach ⛱! For these occasions, we like making certain foods like sandwiches 🥪, hummusmuffinssmoked sausages, charcuterie boards, snacks, granola bars, etc.
 
Salads 🥗 are another popular choice. I think of IsraeliCreamy Bacon Potato or Moroccan Potato SaladNiçoiseMixed TomatoChickpea Corn, and others as well as Pasta Salad! As most of you know, I love pasta and there are already a couple more of these salads here at CF like Mediterranean Chicken Pesto Pasta and this featured one… Greek Tuna Pasta Salad!
 
This colorful salad is loaded with deliciousness! With an assortment of fresh vegetables, feta cheese and a lovely dressing, this is the perfect summer salad! It’s easy to make and another amazing dish to add to your folder! This is one of my “summer time” go-to recipes…
 
After the noodles are cooked, cool to room temperature and you have your “mise en place” (means everything in place and ready to go), the rest is kiddy play! My tasty Greek Salad Dressing is something you can make ahead and you’ll see, it takes no time to put this healthy recipe together!
 
If not using the cooked pasta right away or, in this case, has to cool off, pour on some oil and gently toss. For this Greek Tuna Pasta Salad, I use grapeseed or any other flavorless oil to not compromise the flavor. Olive oil is good for regular pasta dishes.
 
Some people find raw onion 🧅 tastes overwhelming. To remedy this situation, soak the chopped onion in cold water for 30 minutes which will take away the bitterness. The other alternative is to use a milder onion like green onions or Vidalia.
 
Like most recipes, adjust it to your liking! All our lives (even before we met), David and I have never been big fans of “salt”. Yes, some salt 🧂 is okay but not a ton like I see in so many home cook recipes or chefs. If you’re wise and start doing some research, you’ll see how bad salt can be for your body. As you saw in the video, I don’t add any because feta cheese is already salty (yes even after rinsing it) so I’d rather use other spices even freshly ground black pepper to bring the flavors together… no extra salt needed!
 
When pouring in the Greek Salad Dressing, add a little at a time just enough to lightly coat the ingredients. Taste and adjust if needed, before adding a little more. Normally for 1 lb. of pasta, I use ½ cup of dressing. Same thing here… adjust to your liking!
 
This healthy 💚 Greek Tuna Pasta Salad is incredibly delicious! With gorgeous ingredients, this is a rainbow of yumminess! Bring summer to your plate by making this succulent pasta salad dish! After trying it, it wouldn’t surprise me that it will become your “go-to” recipe as well…
Bon Appétit! 🍽

Caribbean Jerk Rotisserie Chicken Recipe | Club Foody

 

Before the warmer months arrive, David and I try to choose the first few recipes we’ll be making on the barbecue 🔥! It’s really not obvious as we have so many amazing ones like Chipotle Stuffed Bronto BurgersBBQ Beef Shish KebabsGrilled Marlin SteaksLamb Kofta with Yogurt Sauce, just to name a few…
 
When it comes to chicken 🐓, it’s still a hard choice. There’s Peri Peri Chicken, Chicken Boti Kebabs, Huli Huli Chicken, Beer Can Chicken, California Burgers, Gai Yang (Thai Grilled Chicken), Rotisserie Chicken… wait a second… Yeah, here’s another incredible one… my Caribbean Jerk Rotisserie Chicken!
 
This recipe is ridiculously simple! With only a few ingredients, this chicken is loaded with flavor from the Islands! With a gorgeous homemade rub along with a delicious sauce for basting, you definitely want to make it this summer 🌞. It takes about 1:15 to 1:30 hours to grill depending on the size, and here’s a really tasty chicken to enjoy!
 
To make this Caribbean Jerk Rotisserie Chicken, you need to make a couple ingredients first. There’s my Jamaican Jerk Seasoning that is used for the rub and then this incredible condiment… Caribbean BBQ Sauce which should be “a must” this summer. Both recipes are easy to make and you’ll have some left for further recipes.

Lemon Gelato Recipe • A Refreshing Cold Treat! | Club Foody

 

Summer is about ice cream 🍨 and other cold treats! It’s a sweet pleasure we all crave. At home, frozen treats are rotated from week to week. I always have a few varieties in my freezer. If you ask me which is my favorite, frankly, I won’t know what to say. I enjoy them all; Strawberry Ice Cream 🍓, FudgesiclesMango Sorbet, popsicles, etc.
 
Although I can’t tell you exactly which one I prefer, there’s an Italian classic that I really like and it’s Lemon Gelato! This is probably the most refreshing frozen treat to enjoy this season. With a creamy texture, the right amount of lemon 🍋, plus limoncello (optional), this is simply delicious!
 
The recipe is quite simple… It requires 6 ingredients (8 if you add limoncello and food coloring) and after chilling the mixture for a few hours then churning it, you’re ready to enjoy it right away if you want. Unlike typical ice cream which are hard, Lemon Gelato is enjoyed soft. I personally prefer it hard so I return my churned mixture to the freezer for a day.
 
Another plus about it is I don’t use any yolks. I honestly don’t think they’re needed! With the right balance of heavy cream and whole milk (don’t use anything else), the texture will be incredibly creamy and velvety.
 
While many simply mix all the ingredients in the jar of a blender, I do an extra step. I combine heavy cream, whole milk, sugar and salt in a saucepan on medium heat. I stir until the sugar is dissolved – I DON’T warm up the mixture – and as soon as it’s done, I remove it from the heat. Doing this step helps melt the sugar as well as the ground sea salt. If this step isn’t done, you’ll end up with crystalized sugar and some crunch in your mixture… not exactly what I call “smooth”. 😋
 
Lemon zest is also added to this recipe. The best kitchen tool to have it as small as possible is to use a microplane. A grater is another option but the zest will have to be chopped into smaller pieces. Of course, using the best quality lemons 🍋 will give a superior result to this cold treat.
 
An ingredient that is sooo non -traditional is Limoncello! In the video, I don’t show it but if you want to use it, reduce the amount of lemon juice to 1/2 cup and add 2 tablespoon of the Italian liqueur. Keep in mind that you’ll have no choice but to freeze it after it’s churned as the liqueur will thin out the mixture.
 
Let’s talk about food coloring… Because I film the recipe and take pictures of it, of course, I will intensify the color. Do you need it? The answer is “no”. On the other hand, we all eat with our eyes 👀 first and adding a little, makes it more appealing. I have 4 different Natural Food Coloring recipes so check them out…
 
Incredibly refreshing and tasty, this Lemon Gelato (Gelato al Limone) is perfect to enjoy on a hot summer day 🌞. With just the right amount of sweetness, this cold treat is a thirst-quencher! Simple to make with just a few ingredients, this is a recipe that everyone should make this summer…
Bon Appétit! 🍽

Pork Chops with Spicy Peach Sauce Recipe | Club Foody

 

Every time a certain produce is in season, I take advantage of it by making lots of recipes. This also applies to peaches 🍑. I love this fruit and there’s so much we can do with it like Peach Cobbler, Peach Jam, Peach Melba, Peach Galettes, Peach Ice Cream, and even Peach Bellini!
 
Although they’re often used in sweet recipes, peaches are amazing in savory ones as well like pizzas 🍕, salads 🥗, focaccias, salsas, and others including this featured one… Pork Chops with Spicy Peach Sauce!
 
This one is all about the sauce! Fruity with a bit of spice along with a lovely combination of ingredients, this is an original recipe that is perfect for pork as well as chicken! It’s easy to make and the results are remarkable! It’s a mouthwatering way to enjoy peaches…
 
I find peaches so versatile and when I created this Pork Chops with Spicy Peach Sauce recipe, I knew I was making something special! This protein is lean and good for us but let’s be honest, it’s a little on the bland side 🥱. Don’t get me wrong… many times, David and I enjoy it simply seasoned with salt and pepper along with mashed potatoes and steamed vegetables. On the other hand, this sauce recipe enhances the pork and trust me, the pairing is incredible 😍!
 
In most cases, sauces bring the dish to a higher level of deliciousness. As you navigate ⛵ the website, you’ll see I have a few other pork chop recipes with sauces like Caribbean Jerk BBQ Pork ChopsAsian Sesame Pork ChopsPork Chops Diablo, and Spicy Pumpkin Pork Chops plus there are more coming so stay tuned…
 
This Pork Chops with Spicy Peach Sauce is unbelievably delicious! It’s a great way to jazz up your protein with this sweet, savory and slightly spicy sauce. Take advantage of peach 🍑 season by making this tasty recipe…
Bon Appétit! 🍽
