There’s nothing I love more in the late summer and early fall than fresh corn. It doesn’t matter if it’s yellow, white or a combination, if it’s in season, it’s sweet as sugar and I just can’t get enough!

We’re right in the middle of corn season. While I’m all about the stone fruits during this time of year, there are a few vegetables that I love as well. Actually just two: corn and zucchini.

I mean,… Continue reading Blackened Chicken with Avocado Pasta and Corn
