Cucumber Coleslaw for Foodie Friends Friday

Welcome to my first linky party!  I thought I would bring coleslaw to the party, because who doesn't love coleslaw at a summer party?  Instead of the traditional cabbage mix and mayo, I used shredded cucumbers and bleu cheese.  It is tangy and cooling and a great twist on a barbecue classic.

Lime juice, juice from shredding the cucumbers, and a splash of rice wine vinegar mixed with crumbled bleu cheese mimics the color of traditional coleslaw sauce with its own refreshing flavor.  Crunchy granny smith apple and cucumber with the sweet corn and a touch of honey contrast beautifully with the bleu cheese.  I made it a few years ago and it has been rattling around in my brain for the past few months, just waiting for the fresh corn to come back!

Foodie Friends Friday: A'lil Country Sugar - Zoodles!

This week for Foodie Friends Friday, I pulled Angie from A'lil Country Sugar.  Using a julienne peeler, Angie made gorgeous looking "zoodles": zucchini noodles!  This is the perfect time of year to use the zoodle, as they will be popping up shortly at the farmers markets.  Fresh and local, they will have the best flavor.  Angie used the zoodles in a soup, but I could see these blanched and used in a summer "pasta" salad!

So head to A'lil Country Sugar to see the recipe for Turkey Zoodle Soup:

Foodie Friends Friday: What's Cooking in the Burbs

It is foodie friends friday!  Today I pulled Bridget from What's Cooking in the Burbs.  I decided to feature her Chipotle Macaroni and Cheese because I love putting chipotle anything!  I also chose her Southern Style Pulled Pork Sandwiches because it is my favorite food and I have yet to put a recipe of it up on here.  Please hold me accountable for one by the end of the summer, I am a perfectionist and none of my absolute go to favorites have gone up because of this!

Anywho, here is her Chipotle Macaroni and Cheese:

Foodie Friends Friday: Cheeseburger Wontons from What's Cooking in the Burbs

So, I decided to join a little group called Foodie Friends Friday.  Basically, a group of food bloggers get together every Friday and send a little foodie love by posting a recipe from one of their friends.  Today, I've chosen Bridget from What's Cooking in the Burbs because she had a creative take on a cheeseburger.  She took leftover wontons and ground beef and fashioned it into a cute muffin sized cheeseburger bite.  And as I'm a total sucker for anything adorable, I thought it would be a fitting first foodie friends friday.
