Fresh summer corn is something we look forward to every year! Crunchy and sweet it makes a wonderful salad ingredient or salsa. These recipes celebrate this seasonal ingredient. If you only eat corn on the cob, you're missing out! Also, this is our favorite trick for shucking corn. It's so easy and takes care of all the annoying little pieces of silk. Enjoy!

Thought for the day:

If my people, who are called by my name,
will humble themselves and pray and seek my face
and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven,
and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.
2 Chronicles 7:14
