Foodie Friday: Ingredient Spotlight ~ Corn

 

We had our first fresh corn last weekend, straight from the Farmer's Market. It was very sweet and delicious. We grilled it and slathered it with 2 different compound butters that I whipped up. Corn is so very versatile, I thought, it was Foodie Friday worthy. Get inspired here......

Mexican Street Corn Dip 
Here's your next cookout appetizer. I come from a long line of "dippers." I am usually not one of them ( double dipping and all). But this recipe looks so good, it just might be worth the carbs.

Corn Fritters
My sweet mother made these all summer long. They are so yummy. The good news is that they taste just as good at room temp as they do piping hot. 

Iron Skillet Cornbread
Is this not the best looking cornbread you ever saw? Of course, the recipe includes cheese and creamed corn!

Sweet Corn & Roasted Jalapeno Hummus
I may have mentioned that I make my own hummus once a week. It's so darn good. This recipe will be made this week. It is sure to be sweet from the corn, creamy from the chickpeas, and have a little kick from the pepper.

Cheddar Bacon Sweet Corn
The perfect barbecue side dish. But be sure to make extra, these will go fast.

Brown Butter Lobster, Sweet Corn and Fontina Risotto
Pinch me. I think I have died and gone to heaven. Though the recipe sounds decadent, there is a healthy balance due to the fresh kale and tomatoes. Even if you don't eat lobster, swap it out for shrimp or salmon. Or the risotto is rich enough to stand alone. YUM!

Sweet Corn Ice Cream With Blueberry Swirl
Talk about a summery sweetness! I bet that this is heaven on a spoon. Most certainly worth the effort!

Avocado Corn Salad
Summer in a bowl. This recipe celebrates summer flavors with fresh herbs, tons of lime, and a pinch of garlic.

Sweet Corn Gazpacho
Served with Avocado Toast, this is the perfect hot day light meal. It's served cold, and I bet just delicious. The recipe author suggests that it gets better and better 1-3 days after you make it.

Sweet Corn and Watermelon Salad
"
Sweet corn and watermelon salad pairs two of summer’s most iconic foods in one irresistible dish that brightens up any meal." I am so picky about my watermelon, that I haven't had it yet. Maybe this week, with this recipe.

Grilled Corn on the Cob with Chimichurri Butter
I would never waste the carbs or calories on plain ol' boiled corn. A dish like this might be worth it all. And chimichurri makes everything better!

Spicy Maple Grilled Chicken Sandwich with Smoky Bacon Corn
Each element of this recipe sounds delicious. I know a few family members that would love this.
