One of the appetizers that I served at Bunco Tuesday night were the Bacon and Olive Cream Cheese and Chive Finger Sandwiches. Be careful when you make these…you'll want to eat the entire plate.

Last night my husband was out and I was not in the mood too cook. I had leftovers of the Trader Joe's Turkey Bolognese and spaghetti so that was dinner. 

Breakfast this morning was scrambled egg beaters with salsa, tomatoes, green onions and cheddar cheese.

After I took the kids to camp, I went to Great News for a cooking class. The class was taught by Phillis Carey and was entitled: Corny Cooking. Everything had corn in it, if not obvious by the title. :)

The first recipe was Mexican-Style Grilled Corn on the Cob with Chili Spices and Cotija Cheese:

Talk about taking corn to a whole new level! Fabulous!

Next was Cajun Rubbed Top Sirloin with "Maque Choux" Creamy Corn and Bacon:

Also excellent! The creamy corn was divine on the steak.

The third recipe was Grilled Shrimp and Polenta Cakes with Grilled Corn and Green Chili Salsa:

The salsa was outstanding. All the flavors were fabulous together!

Dessert was Lemon Cornmeal Cake with Lemon Glaze and Fresh Blueberry Sauce:

So good. Perfect summer dessert!!! I love having all these new recipes to try at home!

What's your favorite way to enjoy corn?
