These “muffins” have no flour, no oil, and no added sugar, and yet they are good enough to have for dessert.  Try me.  These are good for your heart, your soul, your waistline, your muscles, your organs, your cells, your scale– and they’re just darn good.

This salad is a huge crowd-pleaser and a great way to turn summer’s most inexpensive, readily available veggie into an award-winning side dish.  And here’s a tip: cook some farro and toss into leftover corn salad for a tasty, high-protein lunch!

Cinnamon Frosting

Serves 1 cake
Prep time
5m

Listen, this barely counts as a recipe, it’s so simple.  You can make it without cinnamon and/or with any other flavor you like.  I like to add lemon zest instead of cinnamon, and sometimes I use peppermint extract (YUM with chocolate cake) or almond extract instead of vanilla.  It all depends on what you’re frosting!  The cinnamon pairs well with the Gingerbread Cake, so here it is.  Change it up as your needs change.  Enjoy!

This fresh corn chowder is a knock out.  So sweet and delicious, and with all of that corn, potatoes and bacon, it really eats like a meal.  Try it and you’ll see!

Corn Spoonbread

What’s Spoonbread?  It’s casserole, my friends.  But let’s call it Spoonbread, ok?  I have an aversion to casseroles, and this one is too good to miss.

This is a staple on our Thanksgiving table and is a go-to comfort food in Spring and Summer when the sweet corn is plenty and the weather is stormy.  Kids especially love this dish, so if you have picky eaters, give this a try.  They will gobble it on Thanksgiving and the 4th of July and every day in between.

Corned Beef Brisket in the Slow Cooker

03/18/2017
Serves 2 medium sized (3 lb) brisket
Equipment
Slow Cooker
Prep time
5m

     

This spice blend (the only things not pictured above are dill weed and thyme) is the very best way to temper and enhance the strong, sometimes overpowering salty flavor of corned beef.  It might feel weird to put cinnamon, allspice and cloves on your meat.  Trust me: do it anyway.  You will be so glad you did.  Save this recipe for next Saint Patrick’s Day and every other time you are slow-cooking brisket!
