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!🍽

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!🍽
 
You can always try my other recipes 😉; Mexican Burgers, Chipotle Stuffed Bronto Burgers, Italian Burgers with Tomato Slaw, California Burgers, Mushroom Swiss Burgers, Bison Burgers with Bourbon Onion Jam, Deli Burgers, Best Eggplant & Mushroom Veggie Burgers, Hawaiian Teriyaki Burgers, or Blue Cheese Burgers. I also love serving them on my homemade hamburger buns!
