    What to Cook with Fresh Produce: Corn

    Cooking Tips

    Going to the Farmer’s Market is always a treat. Being outside and grabbing delicious fresh produce—could anything else be more blissful? Well, actually cooking your produce could make the situation even better. And 9 times out of 10 when I go to a Farmer’s Market, I buy produce and have no idea what I should make with it. Hence this new series 🙂

    Since I’m lucky enough to live near a Farmer’s Market that stays open all year round, I am able to grab fresh in-season produce every single weekend. Right now I’m kind of determined to buy more local produce because I’m totally getting into this “supporting local” thing (*cough* thanks Brooklyn, *cough*). So I’ll be walking through my in-season produce chart and creating a new post every few weeks or so. Each post will highlight a particular produce item, and recipes to make with it during that season.

    This week it’s all about corn. Now I know corn is a summer produce, but with fall only just starting some markets still have some of this produce available for purchase. So I decided to grab two ears this week and make some delicious fresh corn salsa (recipe below).

    Be sure to stay tuned for more posts like this in the future. We’ll dive into some delicious fall produce—apples and butternut squash and beets, oh my!
