Now this is a sophisticated dessert! And what a great idea. Corn can be so sweet and creamy, this recipe should work.

Bacon Wrapped Cheddar Corn
Jalapeno Poppers
If you can believe, I have never had a "popper" of any kind. I just don't frequent the kind of restaurants that offer them. But these look interesting. Serve these summery jalapeño poppers with a cooling cilantro-ranch to tame the heat.
Half Baked Harvest
Maple Cheddar Cornbread with a Hint of Spice
Life is too short to make plain cornbread! This recipe calls for both cheese and corn kernels, the way I like it. The maple syrup adds the
balance to the spice.
Spice Chronicals
A standout on the table! The colors and textures are very appealing. There are so many layers and flavors with ingredients like: crumbled cornbread, chorizo, tomatoes, green peppers, black beans, creamy lime dressing and cilantro. YUM!

Creole Shrimp & Creamed Corn
Creamed corn is not my thing, but I do make it well for "Mr. Shop This." Add some spices and shrimp, and I am all in. Oh boy! And by the way, this is a light version.

the outside.

Who knew a little mayo, lime, and chili powder were the key to the best corn ever? Well, I know this to be true from personal experience. It truly is beyond good.

Open Kitchen by Williams Sonoma Corn Picks
I have owned these, but somehow they went missing this year. They are good looking and work well. Now on sale.
Williams Sonoma
Sweet Corn Salsa
Pass the chips please! This salsa will add texture to anything you pair it with. The key to the success of the recipe is ~ the fresher the corn, the better.
