Good Eats

Nothing says summer like locally grown sweet corn!  It's always a treat to find the first ears at a farmstand. Just look at these beauties:


Bring a large pan of water to a full boil, add the shucked ears with a little salt, turn off the heat and let sit for five minutes.  Take the ears out of the water and rinse under cold water until slightly cooled.


Roll the ears in butter and enjoy!  Heavenly!  I like eating the leftovers cold for lunch.


This Chicken Salad with Nectarines in Mint Vinaigrette is one of my favorite summer meals.  To get the recipe, simply go to www.cookinglight.com and type the name in the search box.  I've made it with the white wine vinegar the recipe specifies and also with plain white vinegar.  I think I prefer the latter since its flavor is milder.


Last weekend Malima helped me make a new recipe that I found at www.101cookbooks.com called Sesame Almond Brown Rice Balls.  They were quite good but the next time I would look for something to put in the middle, like tofu or avocado as the recipe suggests.  I had to buy the black sesame seeds from a specialty food store but this recipe would probably be fine with just white sesame seeds.  Mark loved these rice balls and wants me to make them again!
