Mexican Grilled Corn on the Cob

Entertaining Meal - Mexican Grilled Corn on the Cob - 560x560

Grilled corn smeared with a thin layer of zesty mayonnaise and topped with crumbled feta and chopped cilantro; this is a definitely a recipe that’s too good not to share.

Local corn on the cob should be readily available in the coming weeks, and in anticipation I’ve been testing a few new recipes for our family to try. The favourite to date was easily this Mexican-inspired side dish, and I’ve been smitten with it ever since I shared it with the readers over at SavvyMom last month.

While I wouldn’t hesitate to make this for a casual weeknight dinner, I definitely think it screams, “easy entertaining,” as well. Plunk a large platter of cobs down in the middle of your outdoor dining table, and pass around wooden skewers or corn holders to make for easy eating. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do. 

Head on over to SavvyMom for this seasonal favourite recipe.

Ice Cream Sandwich Pops I very nearly didn’t bother to share this sweet treat with you because I thought it was far too simple of an idea to warrant its own blog post, however my good friend Tess, ever the voice of reason, insisted it’s exactly the kind of thing worthy of this space. Even if I didn’t heed her advice, and I’d be a fool not to, the squeals of delight from my nieces and nephews as I carried a tray of these ice cream sandwich pops to the backyard on Canada Day reaffirmed that it’s an idea too good to overlook. As you can see, there is absolutely no recipe required for these, just a simple method, which couldn’t be easier to execute: buy ice cream sandwiches, slice them in half, roll the exposed sides in sprinkles or other favourite toppings, and insert a popsicle stick into the cut side to create...

Chicken Parm Sliders When Rob pushed his chair away from the table last night, he sighed contentedly and thanked me for making something new. I know my dinners have been sitting at a dead-end lately, but what I didn’t realize is that everyone else knew it, too. Yikes. Maybe that’s why Ben’s asked to cook this week, or Jackson’s decided he’s taking over Saturday morning summer breakfasts on the weekends we’re at home. Clearly, our meals are in need of a little makeover, and fortunately the motivation I’ve been looking for has arrived in spades. I’m happy to say I foresee a week of noteworthy dinners ahead of us, and the first creation hit the table last night in the form of these Chicken Parmesan Sliders, a four-thumbs-up family-approved dinner everyone at the table – cheese-hater included - enjoyed. To get started, I slowly simmered some homemade marinara sauce in the afternoon while...
