The last of my summer corn was the perfect addition to this healthy salad. I charred the corn and added fresh plum tomatoes and ripe avocado, poured on a zesty-honey dressing and voilà a salad was born. Farewell summer…see you again next year! Continue reading
When the corn in season is about to be no more…I buy a few dozen, cut the corn off the cob then freeze the corn to be used in the fall and winter.

Here’s my spin on this taco which I’m gladly renaming Cowgirl Tacos! Continue reading
