Lemon Drop Limoncello Martini Recipe | Club Foody

 

Back in the 80s’, shots and shooters became popular. There was B52, Slippery Nipple, Sex on the Beach, Kamikaze, Blow Job, Sambuca, Tequila Slammer, Orgasm, etc. Yes, many of these had sexual innuendo names 🙄 making them quite sought-after.
 
Another one that was also quite in demand back then was the Lemon Drop! It was more a lady’s shooter; I liked it! On the other hand, I’ve never been crazy having shots or shooters – I’m more of a social butterfly 🦋 and like sipping my drink slowly instead of consuming it in one gulp.
 
Being a bartender during that era, I turned this famous shooter into a Lemon Drop Limoncello Martini instead! It was an OMG 🤯! The taste was pretty similar to the one-shot drink except slightly elevated. This cocktail became trendy as many enjoyed the Lemon Drop but wanted to sip it slowly…
 
I’m a martini girl 🍸! It can be Banana Split, Blood Orange, Saketini, Blue Ice, Chocolate, Appletini, Dirty Dry, Pomegranate, Napoleon, Chocolate Grasshopper, Lychee, Espresso, Crantini, Melon, Spicy Martini, and the list goes on…
 
Back to the Lemon Drop Limoncello Martini…
The mix is slightly different from many out there. First, in the glass of a Boston shaker over ice cubes 🧊, I strain some freshly squeezed lemon juice through a fine sieve to catch the pulp. It’s not necessary but for a cleaner result, that’s the way to go. I personally don’t like seeing it floating in my drink.
 
Then the alcohol goes in: Limoncello and Vodka. When it comes to this Italian liqueur, you can make 👩‍🍳👨‍🍳 it from scratch by clicking right here… Homemade Limoncello Liqueur. It’s followed by Simple Syrup which can also be made at home. Here’s the link… Simple Syrup
 
After placing the metal tumbler on top, tap down to secure it and shake vigorously, the mix is strained into a martini glass coated with a sugar rim. Add a lemon twist or lemon wheel 🍋 and voilà, you’ve got yourself the BEST cocktail ever!!!
 
I love citrus and this Lemon Drop Limoncello Martini delivers perfectly! Easy and quick ⏳ to make, this elegant cocktail is refreshing and tasty plus it has a beautiful balance of sweet and sour. It’s a lovely drink to enjoy…
Cheers! 🥂

Tequila-Lime Chicken Wings Recipe • A Must Try! | Club Foody

 

David and I love our wing nights! I would say that we have them at least a couple times a month. We make blue cheese and ranch dressing for our dipping sauces, have 2 different flavors for the wings, and serve them with crudités 🥕 while watching a movie.
 
There are a lot of flavors to choose from on the website 💻. It can be Smoky Buffalo, Teriyaki, Shanghai, Orange Sriracha, Triple Chili, Ethiopian Red Pepper, Spicy Strawberry Orange, Sweet Chili, Bacon Jam, Mango Chipotle, and so on. Here’s another one to add to this list… Tequila-Lime Chicken Wings!
 
These are certainly OMG 🤯! With gorgeous ingredients such as Tequila, lime juice and zest, agave nectar, hot sauce and seasonings like ground cumin and chipotle chili powder, this sauce is simply amazing! It certainly gives the wings some personality!
 
This Tequila-Lime Chicken Wings recipe has serious layers of yumminess to it! It all starts with tequila 🥃. Choose the type you prefer. If you enjoy Reposado (Gold) over Blanco (Silver) then use it. There’s no right or wrong when it comes to your personal taste…
 
The sauce simmers gently for about 1 hour ⏰ which is the time that it takes for the wings to bake in the oven. If it bubbles too much, reduce the heat. The result you’re looking for is for the sauce to coat the back of a spoon.
 
As I mentioned above, the wings are baked in the oven. It’s exactly the same method used for the Baked Chicken Drumettes and Wings. The only thing that differs is I add 🥄 ground cumin to the flour mixture. Other then that, the rest stays the same.
 
These Tequila-Lime Chicken Wings are so tasty! Served as an appetizer or main, this finger food recipe is another great one to add to your folder 📘. If you like tequila, you’ll love these!
Bon Appétit! 🍽

Cabbage and Carrot Casserole Recipe | Club Foody

 

David and I love entertaining! To us, having our friends and family over is always a pleasure. After deciding on the menu and pairing the wines, we might have to decorate if needed (i.e. Spanish theme, Super Bowl, Canada Day, etc.), buy flowers 💐, and so on.
 
The majority of the time, the main course requires a side dish. During the Holidays or Easter, often, there’s more than just one. It seems that a whole turkey or duck 🦆, a roast beef or pork needs a few sides to make them even better!
 
I have so many flavorful side dish recipes on the website 💻 such as North African Vegetable Couscous, Broccoli & Cauliflower Casserole, Pilau Rice, Aloo Gobi, Sambal Green Beans, Fondant Potatoes, Crispy Fried Onion Strings, Quick & Easy Bok Chow, Spring Pea Salad, etc.
 
A vegetable I like serving during spring time 🌷 is carrots. It can be Grand Marnier Glazed Carrots, Carrot & Rutabaga Mash, Roasted Rainbow Carrots or Classic French Carrot Salad. Another one is my Cabbage and Carrot Casserole!
 
This delicious recipe is easy to make! The combination of vegetables along with seasonings plus topped with a nice Cheddar Cheese Sauce and a breadcrumb mixture, gives an incredible taste to the dish! It’s a great casserole that everyone will enjoy including the picky eaters 👧👱‍♂️!
 
To make this Cabbage and Carrot Casserole, I use either a Dutch oven or a large pot. By the time all the vegetables are in, especially the 6 cups of cabbage and 3 of shredded carrots 🥕, I need space to stir and cook the ingredients…
 
When sautéing the veggies, I go easy with the salt 🧂 as there’s already a fair amount of sodium in the Cheddar cheese. On the other hand, I’m quite generous with the freshly ground “mixed peppercorns”. Besides these two, there’s basil, oregano and lemon zest that are added as well…
 
What really makes this side dish is the toppings. There’s my Cheddar Cheese Sauce 🧀 that goes on top, covering the entire surface before adding the breadcrumb mixture. It gives a nice texture to it as well as a little bit of crunch.
 
Easy to prepare 👩‍🍳👨‍🍳, this tasty Cabbage and Carrot Casserole goes so well with many proteins. With its lovely combination of ingredients, this is certainly a crowd pleaser and another amazing recipe to add to your folder!
Bon Appétit! 🍽

Hawaiian Smoothie Recipe • Tropically Delicious! | Club Foody

 

I’ve set my mind (and goals) that 2025 will be a big change, a great transition for a better me 👱‍♀️! All my life, I had the perfect body without putting any effort into it. Since my menopause though, I’ve gained a lot of weight that I haven’t been able to shred. Well, that’s enough of the insanity!
 
I’ve been on a detox a couple times already (more to come) and also, I’m back to the gym 🏋️‍♀️! When I’m done exercising, I’m hungry! I need to eat something satisfying and also healthy. It can be my Homemade Granola, Avocado Sweet Pea Toast, Hard-boiled Egg, White Omelet, or a smoothie!
 
On the website, I have a dozen recipes of smoothie to choose from like Papaya, Polynesian, Berry Fusion Smoothie, and many more. Another one that I like to load my body with great nutrients and vitamins 💚 is my Hawaiian Smoothie!
 
Healthy and so tasty, this is a great refreshing beverage to make in the morning. Like any other smoothie, this Hawaiian Smoothie recipe is quick and easy to make 👩‍🍳👨‍🍳. The only thing you need is a very good blender… that’s all!
 
I don’t have any lactose intolerance therefore I use regular milk 🥛 but for those of you who have this condition, you can switch for almond milk which is equally delicious! There’s also vanilla yogurt that goes in and although there’s lactose in it, it’s easier for people to digest than milk.
 
The other ingredients that are a part of this amazing smoothie are mangoes, pineapple, banana 🍌 and coconut flakes! All are a good source of vitamins and minerals, including antioxidants, fiber, potassium, and more…
 
With exotic ingredients, this Hawaiian Smoothie is a delicious way to start your day! After losing over 18 lbs. since the beginning of the year – and more to come before reaching my goal -, I’ll be relying on exercising 🚴‍♀️ as well as good, nutritious food which include this healthy beverage…
To your Health!🧉

Bourride Provençale with Aïoli Recipe • Fish Soup | Club Foody

 

I love soups… either hot or cold! In most cases, they’re easy to make, can be loaded with nutrients and vitamins 💚 plus they’re versatile. During the winter, a nice hot bowl of soup is very soothing while during the summer, a cold one is incredibly refreshing!
 
Until we get to warmer weather, we still enjoy soup! In early spring, I make “lighter” recipes like Thai Coconut Shrimp, Hot & Sour, Avgolemono Chicken Soup, Cream of Mushroom 🍄, West Coast Smoked Salmon Chowder, and others, including this one… Bourride Provençale with Aïoli!
 
This fish soup is packed with yumminess! There’s a nice array of vegetables and seasonings, that make this French recipe so amazing! With the added Aïoli, it gives a nice rich and creamy garlicky 🧄 flavor to this classic!
 
There’s no right or wrong when it comes to the choice of fish 🐟 as long as it’s white. Depending where you’re form, it can be anything from cod, turbot, halibut, mackerel, monkfish, sea bass, etc. After the fillets are well-seasoned, they’re cut into 2-inch pieces so they all cook evenly.
 
When I make 👩‍🍳 my Bourride Provençale with Aïoli, I like pouring in some dry white wine! If you’re worried about using alcohol in dishes, did you know that most of it will evaporate? That’s right! The longer you cook it, the more it burns off! If you still don’t want to use any, substitute vegetable broth.
 
A point I would like to highlight when using white or red wine 🍷 is to use something you like. You don’t need to spend a lot of money. If you can’t stand the taste of it when drinking it, don’t expect to enjoy it when using it in a dish. The wine’s flavors will still be there…
 
Another typical vegetable that is in this soup is potato 🥔. I prefer using Yukon Gold because they hold their shape but red potatoes are another alternative. An additional one to consider is French fingerling potatoes and if you decide to use them, simply cut them in half.
 
Piment d’Espelette?
Yes, this French spice is not so common here in North America 🌎. For those of you who don’t know what it is, it’s a type of red chili pepper from the Basque region that is ground. Its best substitute is cayenne pepper. If using it instead, cut the amount in half.
 
Clam juice is another ingredient that goes in. The 8-ounce bottle can be found at any supermarket 🛒. On the other hand, you can always use a dozen fresh baby clams instead. I prefer using the juice because it’s more concentrated and I can really savour the taste in the background.
 
Everybody makes mistakes…
I wasn’t paying attention and, in the video 🎥, I added the Aïoli before tempering it. I was lucky it didn’t separate! Technically, it has to be tempered prior to being added to the mixture by pouring the hot fish liquid, in a slow stream, into it, whisking continuously before adding more until the garlic sauce is tempered.
 
Bourride Provençale with Aïoli is a lovely one-pot, comfort food to enjoy this Spring! It’s a healthy main course to serve along with crusty bread or crostini! You can keep some extra Aïoli to spread on your bread 🍞… it’s delightful!
Bon Appétit!🍽
