To me, summer is personified in foods that are sweet and citrusy. When I think of soaking up these last days of summer, my mind drifts to pool side book reading enjoying a strawberry popsicle. A hint of sweet, and a splash of tart. Although often times we attribute these flavors to dessert, I wanted to recreate them in a summer inspired and filling main course.
Summer Corn Chowder
We got a ton of locally grown corn in our weekly farmer’s box recently, and I was a bit unsure what to do with all the goodness, as we don’t generally eat a lot of corn.
This harvest reminded me just how delicious corn is.
It also reminded me of how incredible food can be on the first meal… or frozen to become a meal for a later time.
Slow Cooker Creamed Corn
In the summer, there are few things I love more than quick, simple meals that don’t require the use of an oven. Like a lot of you, I try to rely a lot on my slow cooker over the summer months to keep my house cooler. Grilling is also a summertime favorite and this side makes the perfect companion to most grilled dishes.
Sweet corn is easy to find in the summer, but this dish doesn’t have to be a summertime only dish. It’s perfect year round and it has simple ingredients, which is a must! I love using my slow cooker to make meals so that I don’t even have to be at the house to get the cooking done. [Read more…]
Herb Butter on Sweet Summer Corn
Summer. It’s finally here! One of my personal favorite ways to while away the summer days is spending time outside any way that I can. In New York City it was always a challenge, no car to escape the city, no mountain to climb to feel the solitude, no hammock to relax in while the hours slipped by. So I would walk by the water, wander in Central Park, take in the farmers market or go to one of the many street festivals. It was at such a festival that I had my first taste of Street Corn. I was instantly hooked!
