Food, Wine, Family. Fun!
This weekend was a family picnic and I signed up to bring an appetizer. I wanted something that was simple and easy to make and didn't want to worry about keeping it cold. This salsa was perfect for that and it was a big hit with both adults and kids! 2 - 15 oz cans… Continue reading Grilled Corn and Black Bean Salsa
Summertime here in our house means fresh corn on the cob and we've been enjoying it for the last couple of weeks. My kids don't like eating it off the cob so I was looking for something different to make with the last dozen I bought. I scoured Pinterest and found a recipe for elote… Continue reading Elote Corn Salad
We're coming off an amazing season of fresh corn and peaches and this recipe for oatmeal features both of them! This recipe is great for breakfast or dinner. Creamy oatmeal with bites of fresh corn then topped with sweet peaches and creamy yogurt....it's the perfect bite! This recipe makes four one-cup servings, but could easily… Continue reading Sweet Corn Oatmeal with Peaches
The one thing I love about summer is all the fresh vegetables - corn, tomatoes, squash, cukes and more - plus you can't forget about all the stone fruit. YUM! There's a little farm stand I buy corn from and it's so good. It's super sweet and they pick it fresh every morning and even… Continue reading Summer Corn Chowder
This has become my new favorite snack in the summer! It is so refreshing and I love that I can use so many fresh veggies straight from the local farm or from my backyard. It has a little heat from the jalapeno, but you could always leave them out if you don't want the spice.… Continue reading Black Bean Salsa
So summer might be over, but I'm still trying to hold on to all the fresh fruit and vegetables that are available. There's nothing like fresh veggies straight from the garden. I guess we could always move to somewhere warm year around, but I like having different seasons too much! I made this soup with… Continue reading Creamy Summer Corn and Potato Chowder
It's been beyond frigid here lately...like I don't even want to get out of bed its so cold. Now throw in a housebreaking a puppy...I really don't want to go outside. Once the weather gets cold like this, I crave soup, stews and chowder. The best part of this recipe is being able to throw… Continue reading Slow Cooker Southwestern Corn & Potato Chowder
As I mentioned, we have been overwhelmed with tomatoes and this was another one of the recipes I made to use up more of them. My garden is really slowing down now with the cooler nights we've been having. My cucumbers are done and I'll only have four cucumbers left to make one last batch… Continue reading Corn, Tomato and Cheddar Pie
I found this amazing roadside farm stand last summer and they had the best corn on the cob that I've had in a long time. The corn kernels are small, juicy, and we've been enjoying corn from them again this summer. I'm actually going to be picking up another 1/2 dozen for dinner tonight after… Continue reading Grilled Corn Dip Quesadilla
