The Ultimate FoodBlog Bucket List: August 🌻
I can't believe we're already into month 8 of this year! This means that there are only FOUR months left for us to have some mega foodie experiences in 2021. Not that we'll stop having them in 2022 obviously (foodies are forever). I don't know if you agree with me here, but August has a very Maltese vibe to it - feasts, beaches, scorching heat - everything screams Malta. So let's take a dive into what we can do during this very Maltese month. 🌞
Have a Santa Maria BBQ
Santa Maria is one of Malta's biggest feasts, if not THE biggest. A summery BBQ would be perfect for this event. If you're not sure what to cook, check out our recommendations for killer BBQ bites that you can nibble on while watching some of the best fireworks in the world - because who has time for a full plate when your eyes are enjoying the show? 🤷
Pack your own food for a beach day
August is the epitome of summer, So if you don't have a fully-fledged beach day during this month, when will you? We've come up with a list of awesome food you can make for a killer beach day to help you out - don't worry, you don't need to have Master Chef level skills for these. 😉
Make a melon salsa
Melons are a staple fruit during the summer months - they're juicy, sweet and super refreshing! You can incorporate them into savoury dishes to help maintain a balance of flavours and to add a refreshing kick. It’s not just salads that you can incorporate them into either! Check out this awesome melon salsa recipe or try them grilled. 🍈
Have a gin night at GIN-ger
If you haven't heard about this place yet, you're in luck. We went to try it out so we could let you know what we think about it. Long story short: we loved it. You can also read the long story here. GIN-ger is a gin bar that also serves some killer tapas in a gorgeous, relaxing environment. Perfect for summer! 🍸
Grab something from the FoodBlog Store
Our FoodBlog Store has been open for around a month now, so if you haven't had the time to browse through it yet, this is your sign. Grab a tub of ice-cream to beat the summer heat or try our hot sauce if you'd rather embrace the heat! 🍨
Make your own southern fried chicken
The best southern fried chicken is the one you'll make at home using this recipe. Forget about the store-bought kind. This recipe gives you an explosion of flavours and the perfect crunch. Make these for those nights when the heat is unbearable so you stay home, switch the AC on and munch on these chicken pieces while you're watching your favourite series. 😌
What are you planning to do this month? Will you be trying any of the above things out? Let us know in the comments! We'd love to hear from you. ✌️
