Corn!!!!
You know my favorite part of Summer is when the Fresh Corn comes in. It is a weakness for me. I so love to eat it. I like yellow corn boiled or roasted on the cob with lots of butter. I like white corn cut off the cob and fried. I like to serve this with fresh homegrown sliced tomatoes and bacon fried nice and crisp. I really do not care what time of the day it is. I can eat this meal for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
I just felt like sharing something fun with you. Want to play along??? What is your favorite summer time food and how do you prepare it??

Oh YUM! I could talk about food forever... Love fresh corn too!!! MMmmmmmmmmmmm.....other summer foods I love are any kind of berry, but especially raspberries, and home grown tomatoes (bliss with olive oil, fresh basil, salt and pepper and mozzarella, mmmmmmm)
Fried chicken...and Big Red Ice Cream!!LOL....happy day sweetie! I Love corn to!!hughugs
I love having backyard parties with the neighbors. We could eat just about anything and it'd be fun but I like to make bacon cheesburgers with the cheese hidden in the middle of the burger! The real hidden ingredient though is the worcestershire sauce. They can be made in the oven and still taste like they were grilled. Have a great afternoon. Blessings... Polly
Sure would love to share my favorite summertime food!
Fried Green tomatoes!!! NOT LIKE THE MOVIE)
~Take a green tomatoe with a blush of ~pink coming on it!
~slice ~1/4" thick, no thicker
~dip in flower
~salt and pepper each side
~fry in the god old iron fry pan until golden brown.
Have you tried: grilling your corn, husk off, rubbing a cut lime all over it that was dipped in chillie powder? my neighbor from India taught me that one, she also uses an Indian spice.
Hgus,

I love corn, which is why we plant rows and rows of it in our garden. No corn yet, but it is doing really good. Can't wait to taste that yummy corn!
For me summer means a huge BLT with mayo and an icy cold lemonade to wash it down, ohhh how sweet it is!!
And corn who dose not like corn but ya know I found these steam bags from ziplock wow they cook 4 ears in 8 minutes no boiling allll the flavor locked in!

My dear sister is a corn lover too! As a matter of fact she adores it, especially creamed corn! :o) My favorite summertime food is an easy one! It's watermelon, oh how I love watermelon! During summer it is breakfast for me a many mornings, and it is also a snack at night! Well I could eat it anytime!!

Mary, I went to the market to buy some fresh lettuce and green beans, and they had the coolest thing. A few ears of corn just ready for popping. You the dried ear of corn in a paper bag and put it in the microwave for about 4 minutes. It was so fun to see the popped kernals still on the cobb. It tasted so fresh.
P.S. I have an award for you on my post today. So, please stop by and take it home. Karen
Oh Yes! Fresh Corn. Vine Ripened Tomatoes with fresh basil and olive oil...

Love your blog! It brings back wonderful childhood memories for me and my husband, he lived on a farm and had a RR tracks behind the house and the same HUGE garden, that always needed hoed. What a great story about your dad on the 4th of July!
I'm going to try your green pea salad recipe, that sounds wonderful. My favorite food is one that my hubby makes, his fried chicken in his mom's iron skillet, well actually his maternal grandma's skillet. MMM-MMM finger licken' good!!

That sounds really really yummy! My favorite summer dish is salad. Big chunks of tomatoes and cheese, red onion and bell pepper slices and tons of ranch dressing and bacon bits :) I love fruit salad too, with fresh melon and banana slices. Oh I just made myself hungry again! LOL!

Fried corn...never done that before, but I'm going to have to remember it because it sure sounds great. I love corn season, too, but I have to wait another month.
Enjoy some for me!
I am beginning to see the corn stands out and about here in PA.
Yum. I just told Mom this evening that we will have to get some for our next shared meal.
In the summer I love to make Taco Salad and Grilled Chicken Salad. I also love fried zucchini and zucchini bread!

We just had fried corn Wednesday night. I love it! Had some roasted corn Saturday at an open flea market and it was sooooooo good!
Enjoy your weekend!!

Mary Isabella,
It will be another month or so before the local sweet corn is ripe. It is one of my favorite foods.
The boys and I planted some tomatoes and they will be ready about the same time as the corn. I can hardly wait. Mmm! Delicious.
Blessings,
Mary

My favorite summer food is whatever my husband cooks on the grill. That means I don't have to cook.
God bless.
I love summer corn too. My favorite summer food are melons. I could eat barbecue chicken, corn and melon every night and be happy.
I love corn on the cob as well, with lots of butter and salt! Yummm! I've never fried corn and actually just heard about doing that on another blog..will have to try it one day. Our local corn isn't ready yet so I'm impatiently waiting for it to be available!!! My favourite summer food has to be a hamburger grilled on the barbecue and the bun toasted as well...with my own tomatoes and green onions...drooling now!!! xoxo
Oh yes, fresh corn...and I peel back the husk, clean off the silk, pull the husk back up bag and freeze it and it's like summer all over again in the winter! My favorite summer fare? Watermelon, to prepare drop down into a squat, drop the melon hard enough on the ground to split it, dig in with both hands...nothing ladylike about it but it's how my Grandfather taught us to eat them...lucky I have my saltshaker in my pocket! Never had watermelon with salt? What are you waiting for?
hugs
Sandi
Mary, Fresh corn is also one of my favourite foods. A great summer meal would be bar-b-qued ribs, fresh corn and potato salad.

Oh my, how to choose just one....fresh blueberries that you pick yourself so they are extra sweet, strawberries too, and of course, sweet corn! But my favorite is a BLT on home made bread with home grown tomatoes. I can even eat them without the bacon, just lettuce & tomatoes! Delish!
I'm so glad you introduced yourself. I too love corn...fresh corn...my favorite summertime treat. My neighbor's homegrown tomatoes are also wonderful!
mmmm I love Jersey corn with butter its only around for a short time...so some nights we just have corn for dinner!

Favorite summer food? Mine would tomatoes! I like watermelon and corn and fresh berries-but tomatoes are my favorite. I love them many ways but I love to have a BLT-even for breakfast-yummy!
You made me crave corn! BAD! I am trying to do low carb right now so, no corn for me :(

Hmmmmmmmmmmm so many favorites! But I do love fresh sliced tomatoes from the garden!
Thank you so much for visiting my blog.
Yes, I do LOVE The Shack. It was one of my favorite reads.

Thanks for visiting. I hope you will stop by again.
I love having visitors.

OK, so you are making me hungry!!! I love fresh corn! :)
Fresh corn is the BEST! I also love peaches. I stood beside my peach tree yesterday evening and ate several right off the tree! Juice dripping down my arm. It was their first season and they were little, but oh so good! Watermelon with salt and fresh tomatoes are wonderful, too! Hugs - Vickie
