Its Funny how this summer has slipped right on by..not sure where I was. I have actually gone through the whole summer without having a SINGLE URG to bake or cook something! To be honest, I have tried to figure out sneaky ways to NOT COOK. That is so not me..I am always looking for for a recipe to experiment with. In all the seasons, I am usually inspired..but it came real late for summer. I blame it on the intense heat and humity that started way too early..and the last thing I wanna do is heat up the kitchen more!
My husband inspired me the other day. He bought all this corn on the cobb and grilled it all up for us to eat. It was YUMMY! I mean I wanted to eat all of it. Fresh, sweet corn, takes me back to being a kid again. My father would grow 1/2 acre of corn, and we would harvest it in August,and it would be a corn feast almost every night for about 2 weeks. We never complained..it was a treat.
Compliments to my good friend, who suggested this corn chowder recipe. She was right, its YUMMY, and yes so easy. You can make this with frozen corn, but WHY? when it is so much better this time of year with fresh corn.
So husk some corn, and get the pot out and make a summer time chowder for dinner. A nice salad and crusty bread make this so complete. Oh, ok..a trip to Dairy Queen after would make it Totally complete! hee hee~
ENJOY!
