Friday-Food-Frenzy – Fun with Feta

My husband grew up with a strange eating “disorder.”  He only ate cheese for the first 12 years of his life.  No joke.  He’d go to McDonald’s and order a “cheeseburger hold the meat.” He’d eat grilled cheese for breakfast, lunch and dinner.  At a young age, he was offered $100 just to eat part of a Maryland crab cake and he flat out refused.  Lucky for him (and me) he outgrew his cheesy love affair before he went to college.   However, that didn’t stop me from spotting cans of Cheez Wiz spray cheese in his dorm room closet.  He’s come a looong way and I’m willing to take much of the credit for his expanded palate.  Fish and vegetables and grains have become his diet staples.

But, like a kid in a candy shop, his ears still perk any time cheese is on the menu. And, like food, his cheese repertoire has certainly matured over the years too.  While our refrigerator still houses his 64-pack Kraft American Cheese Singles, he is open to trying new cheese – natural, stinky, not stinky, goat, cow, soft, hard–you name it, he’ll try it. So this summer, we’re all about feta.  On any given day, there are three different feta containers in our fridge.  We love it because it’s light and flavorful and compliments a variety of our favorite foods, from summer fruits to grilled shrimp and everything in between.

So, for Friday-Food-Frenzy, we’re going to have fun with feta.  These recipes are way too easy to pass up. Print them.  Try them.  Tell us what you think.  Enjoy summer.

Any feta faves you’d like to share with us?

  1. love this recipe. it’s so easy and refreshing. i’ve also added feta to another delicious salad: diced gala apples, toasted slivered almonds, golden raisins and if you’d like, you can add a fancy vinegar such as the one mentioned in this posted recipe: oleaccae’s dark chocolate balsmaic vinegar or their lemongrass mint white balsamic. yummy!
