There's an old saying that says, "When life hands you a
Limón, marry him!"
No, wait. That's just the motto I live by.
The saying I'm thinking of goes, "When life hands you
limones, make
limonada!" It's a great saying, and
limonada is probably one of the best refreshing and delicious beverages around, but I think the saying could use a little tweaking. I mean suggesting that
limonada is the only thing you can make, really puts a limit on the possibilities. That's just completely unfair to all of the tart and juicy
limones in the world. That's why for this month's
Food of the Month Club Recipe Round-Up, I'm changing that old saying to...
"When life hands you limones, look at all of the wonderful things you can make!"
To start things off, we have this creamy and dreamy
Lime Zest Ice Cream from my foodie BFF,
Girlichef. I bet it's like a
fiesta in your mouth!
FOTMC newcomer, Ckay from
Sweet and That's It, prepared a creamy
curd di Limetta (lime curd) and then turned it into these amazing chocolate-crusted tartlets with strawberries,
dulce de leche and whipped cream. How do you say insanely delicious in Italian?
Nicole from
Presley's Pantry has two delicious recipes for us this month. First up are these amazing
Shrimp Tacos with Key Lime & Orange Love.
Ay. Dios. Mio! These would be a great for a
Cinco de Mayo party this weekend.
Next up, Nicole offers us this refreshing (and miraculous)
Ginger Lime Tea that will cure pretty much everything that ails you.
Speaking of
Cinco de Mayo, you can't have a party without margaritas. For that we turn to my good friend, Vianney from
Sweet Life, whom I like to call "
la diosa de las margaritas". How gorgeous is this
Strawberry-Lime Margarita?
To satisfy your sweet tooth, our friends from
Muy Bueno Cookbook have a cool and creamy
Lemon-Lime Icebox Pie.
I also have two recipes to share this month. The first recipe is a popular beer/lime juice cocktail called
Micheladas that has a spicy kick.
The second recipe is a tangy
Lime-Cilantro Vinagreta.
To end things on a sweet note, we have this
Sassy Pisco Sour & Coconut Tart from our good friends at
Peru Delights. Did you hear that? I pretty sure I just heard this slice screaming my name!
A big thank you to all of my foodie friends for sharing their favorite lime recipes. If you would like to be featured in the next
Food of the Month Club Round-Up, tune in tomorrow (May 3rd) to find out what ingredient will be our next Food of the Month.
