foodie fridays: greek mac and cheese wonton bites with crumbled feta + mint
“Welcome to Foodie Fridays, where we explore culinary delights! Indulge in the fusion of flavors with our Greek mac and cheese wonton bites, enhanced by crumbled feta and refreshing mint.”
While I was jogging around the park this week, I noticed one of those pretend cop cars out of my peripheral.
Oh, what are they called?
You know, they look like a giant boat floating down the intersection and generally old ladies use them as a form of transportation.
I got it! A Mercury Grand Marquis.
I don’t know about you, but anytime I see that particular make and model, I instantly become paranoid. I start listing off in my mind everything I’ve done wrong in the past seventeen minutes….”I totally shouldn’t have meaned mug that lady. Why did she have to be running in a super cute Lululemon outfit? Why did I have to stare at her six-pack? Why?!” The funny thing is, in the back of my mind I know there is a 99.9% chance it’s just Ethel driving back from grocery store.
So, this got me thinking. What if it really was a cop car? What if Ethel took the bus today and I am being tailed? What could the cops possibly want? After I asked myself 234 questions, I realized if someone were following me they would be either be slightly intrigued or painfully bored. I’m as routine as it gets folks. I get up at the same time every day. I eat breakfast at the same time every day. I workout, do households chores, and go to sleep at the same time E-V-E-R-Y D-A-Y. Total yawn-fest.
But then there’s the occasional trips to Charleston, dinning at fun restaurants, and working on my food blog that would quite possibly make them forget they were following me altogether. I mean, who wouldn’t want a plate of bite sized Greek mac and cheese wonton bites on a Friday afternoon? Hello, gooey cheese, salty kalamata olives, and delicious artichoke hearts! You can practically taste the flavors of Greece in these bites.
So, remember friends, if you ever feel like you’re being tailed, whip up a batch of these Greek mac and cheese bites. You’ll keep the cop distracted. If that doesn’t work, start breaking plates and yelling, “OPA!”
These sound amazing!
Thanks, Kevin!
Haha! I totally do the same thing. I do it when I’m driving and a car seems to have “followed me” for a long time too. Oh, that I were interesting enough to be followed. 🙂 These are such a creative take on mac and cheese. I love these flavors and love that they’re bite sized. So perfect for football parties!
Thanks, Courtney! I’m glad I am not the only one who gets paranoid:)
I do the same thing!!! I’m so paranoid about the coppers – what have I done, did I run that red light or was it still barely yellow? Who did I cut off? Ohhh, that cop is cute – he can pull me over any day – ya know…the usual crazy stuff.
I would throw these at a cop if it got me out of a ticket though. Better than doughnuts!
Ha! I heart you friend:) Have a super fab weekend!
Mmm! I love greek food. Especially when it is cream, cheesy and a little crunchy like these bites! YUM!
Thanks, Tieghan! Greek food is my fav too!
Great game day appetizer!
Thanks, Maria! I’m thinking these need to make an appearance at a tailgate soon!
I WANT!! And I soooo mean that!
Ha! Thanks, Carrian!

You totes should! Thanks, Steph!
Comfort food in a cup….I don’t think it gets much better!

I could not love this any more if I tried! LOVE these flavors!!
Thanks, Cassie! Have a great weekend, friend!
I’m so glad you admitted this! I totally do the same thing, even when Ben is driving! I’m like “slow down! There’s a cop!” And, yeah, it’s usually grams or gramps.
Love the sound of these wonton bites!! Feta is calling my name!
YOU? Mean mug… NOOOo I don’t believe it. This mac-n-cheese cups however… I believe in, I believe they should be in my lap and a glass of wine in my hand. Mmm mmmm MMMM! :9
Boring normal people don’t eat like this…see a cop could just be wanting a good meal.
what a great idea to put the macaroni and cheese in the wonton cups
I’m fairly certain anyone tailing me would be seriously bored…as mostly they’d have to sit and watch me stare at the computer in lab all day lol. But they’d also get lots of cupcakes. And hopefully soon these mac and cheese bites because YUM.
How cute! Perfect for a little get together! Thanks:)
