I am giddy for Sweet Corn this spring!
Don’t you just love it when spring rolls around and we can get fresh vegetables again? While maybe not “Local” for all of the US, we can start seeing American produce on our shelves from Florida and other states. It’s so exciting to me. What produce do I wait for especially? Well tomatoes for sure and also sweet corn!! Yum yum yum. Corn on the cob, all smeared with butter and salt…it’s the food of the gods! My kids love to take it outside and shuck it for me. I think the preparing of corn on the cob on the grill or the stove makes us all excited for the summer ahead.
When I was a child, my mom grew sweet corn in the garden, but the raccoons and deer loved the corn too and would just mutilate it. It was such a disappoint to watch it grow, smell the sweet aroma of the corn silk in the morning dew and then walk down to the garden and have everything devastated. That’s why I enjoy going with my kids to a farm stand and picking up corn. The farmers have to deal with all the vermin and not me! From now until the Michigan corn comes in, I am so lucky to have Sunshine Sweet Corn available at my local supermarket.

There is nothing better than fresh, sweet corn that is warm and has butter melted all over it. So tasty! Thanks for sharing.
This sounds tasty! I love anything with salsa!
I love having fresh corn in the summer! This salsa salad sounds amazing and would be great for bbqs!
That recipe looks fabulous. I will need to try it for dinner some night.
We love sweet corn! The best way we’ve eaten sweet corn is grilled and topped with melted butter and salt or butter and a dusting of chili powder. It is my favorite side dish this time of year.
I just love corn right off the grill, slathered in butter and into my belly!
That salad sounds so good right now. I have to remember to pick up some avocados.
I love grilled corn on the cob! I also love homemade creamed corn!
A homemade sweet corn ice cream is pretty darned tasty. It may not sound appetizing but it truly is.
My favorite way to eat fresh corn is right on the cob! I like to throw it on the grill right in the husks and roast it that way.
This looks delicious. I think that the corn really helps to make this recipe stand out!
My favorite dish to prepare using sweet corn is actually corn salsa. I love the tender, sweet kernels that I cut off the cob.
I would LOVE to make this(although I would leave out the black beans).
I love having it on it’s own but I make a mean Fiesta Rice recipe that I use sweet fresh corn in all the time.
My favorite dish is ssssoooo boring. I just throw it in a bowl with some salt and butter. Boom. Instant nom noms.
I love sweet corn. It;s only in season for a short time locally, but we eat it almost every night when it’s fresh!
Oh love how festive it looks – will so try to make it on the weekend. Thank you for linkiing up at Fitspiration for Moms
My mom & dad lived in Florida for more than 20 years. They loved sweet corn & would always rave about Zelwood’s corn festival. When we would visit, we planned some of our visits for corn harvesting season. Our whole family loves corn.
I love sweet corn too!! I’m from Hawaii, and my friends and I used to eat Kahuku Corn, it was delicious!!
I remember when I was little my mom and aunt used to go to one of the farms where you could pick all the corn you wanted…us kids could run up and down the rows or help pick(get in the way). They would get a couple of big sacks full and take it home…some was cut off the cob and frozen or canned but others were cooked that day or frozen on the cob.
I loved shucking…except when there were worms.
I still love sweet corn on the cobb too!
Thanks for reminding me! I’m gonna have to get some for cooking…soon.
You are the best ELLE!!
