I could make a meal out of corn on the cob in the summer.  I love it and it’s so cheap and fresh from the farms in our neck of the woods.  I kicked it up a bit with a grilling recipe and my husband and I loved it. The kids? Not so much but that’s probably to be expected with chili powder and lemon involved!

This recipe is so simple and the thing I love about it is that there’s no butter! The lemon and spices add a TON of flavor and you definitely don’t miss the extra fat. I might try this with some different herbs and spices over the summer and see what else we can come up with.
