Best Ever Corn on the Cob

A Teaspoon of Home

My favorite summer foods are watermelon and corn on the cob! I never get sick of them. In fact I remember cutting the corn off the cob when I had braces to avoid the full effect of the corn removal from braces following. No matter how much work it took to get it all out, it was always worth it!

When I was pregnant with my son I discovered I had a food allergy for corn. It was right in the start of summer and I was devastated! It took every power in my will to avoid it. I would watch others munch on their crisp corn and drool. Pathetic I know!

Sometimes I will sneak in just one cob just to remember how it tastes. I sound like I’m making out with it and always tell my husband how good it is and he is like it’s not that good you just haven’t had it in a while.

Well the last time I snuck a cob of corn, I made it with this simple recipe and I swear it was the best corn I have ever eaten!

I know, you’re probably thinking anything tastes better with a stick of butter but this hands down takes the cake!
