Strawberry Tart

Around town we have these single standing strawberry stands set up here and there and I love it! It’s so easy to get persuaded by those big signs and those extra juicy and sweet smell strawberries. I bought an entire flat of them the other day and have been making tons of strawberry things including jams, salsas, salads, etc. Today we have this Strawberry Tart that I’ve also been making with the loads of strawberries…

How to Boil Corn on the Cob

I think my love of seasonal cooking comes from all the corn on the cob I ate as a kid. In the summer, my mom served boiled corn on the cob with dinner almost every night. She’d pick it up from a farm stand nearby, so it was always super-sweet and…

Corn Casserole

This corn casserole is everything but boring. It’s loaded with three types of corn – cornmeal, cream corn, and fresh corn off the cob – and sprinkled with bacon, cheese, and chives for a real explosion of flavor in every bite. There’s just something about the combination of creamy corn with melted cheese and bits of savory salty bacon that we just can’t get enough of. While we love serving this corn casserole as a…
