Themed Reveal Day - Tailgating Foods

Throughout the year, there are occasions where a month will have 5 Mondays. As you may know, most months have just 4 and that is why we only have 4 groups in Secret Recipe Club. I thought it would be nice to do a Themed Reveal Day on the weeks where we typically sit out and rest. There is one more 5 Monday instance in November, but since it's the end of August and it's about to be tailgating time, the theme this month is TAILGATING FOODS! Who is ready for some good game grub?!

Soutzoukakia: Chocolate and Chillies

Today's featured recipe comes from Group D. Asiya of Chocolate and Chillies made Soutzoukakia {Greek Meatballs in a Tomato Sauce} from her assigned blog, A Day in the Life on a Farm. Asiya talks about making these lovely little meatballs in the oven while the tomato sauce is cooking - that she prefers baking to frying. I totally agree. I think baking meatballs is not only easier and practically foolproof, but they taste more tender and juicy that way!

Asiya had this to say about her recipe:

"This dish turned out really well!  We enjoyed it with some long grain white rice but it would be great with some crusty bread as well."

Power Sunrise Smoothie: Pretty PolyMath

One of today's featured recipes comes from Group C. Hetal of Pretty PolyMath made Power Sunrise Smoothie from her assigned blog, The Savvy Kitchen.

This one looks fabulous and it is vegan-friendly and dairy-free!

Chipotle Bacon Corn Salad: Morsels of Life

Today's featured recipe comes from Group B. CJ of Morsels of Life made Chipotle Bacon Corn Salad from her assigned blog, Cookin' Mimi. Corn side dishes can be a very dangerous thing at my dinner table. I feel like corn is one of those things you can never fill up on and growing up in Minnesota where sweet corn was prevalent, I absolutely love it. CJ's take on Micha's recipe looks delicious! Don't you agree?

CJ had this to say about her recipe:

"Serve this as a side, or like I did - as a salad topping! This stuff really packs in a big hit of flavor, and we enjoyed it."

Patricia had this to say about her recipe:

"In the end I gave in to my craving for coconut and chose Loy's Key West Coconut Bread which she makes for her son-in-law at Christmas.  I understand why - it's incredibly delicious and I look forward to trying more of her recipes."

Honey Almond Scones: The Harried Cook

Marsha had this to say about her recipe:

"The only modification I made was the addition of almonds. My husband needs the crunch of nuts in scones for them to be 'perfect' and almonds and honey made perfect sense to me."

Marie had this to say about her recipe:

"You know me, I love quick and easy dinners. The original recipe actually calls for broccoli + snow peas but for some reasons, snow peas were nowhere to be found the day I was grocery shopping. So I made it a whole broccoli dish! In less than 30 minutes (25 to be precise!) I had dinner on table."
