Grilled Corn Kicked Up

Summer nights and sunsets are so pretty. Do you look at funky clouds and see shapes of things? Check this one out. I see a dinosaur:)

The other night was taco night and along with tacos, I fired up the grill for some summer corn. The Husband and I love to grill anytime of the year but summer is the best time for corn on the cob. I fetched some fresh jalapeno from the garden which kicked this corn up to something special. Bam! This is how it went down.

Shucked and washed four ears of corn. Simmered 2 tbsp yogurt butter with garlic and chopped seeded jalapeno. Placed corn in large ziplock bag. Drizzled 3/4 of butter mixture into bag. Zipped and shook it like a Polaroid picture until coated with the butter. I know butter is not the healthiest choice, but little splurges make things more interesting. Wrapped each ear in nonstick foil. Placed onto the grill about 350 degrees turning frequently. Grilled until done. Cut into little ears and served hot. Soooo tasty!

What do you see in the clouds? Have a great day!

Taco Night!

It’s taco night!

Shredded salsa chicken crock pot style! So easy to do. Place 6 skinless boneless organic chicken breast in the crock pot. Add your favorite salsa. I use a fresh variation (not in a jar). Add a little taco seasoning, cover and cook on low for about 6 to 7 hours. There will be plenty of chicken for chicken tacos, chicken taco salad, chicken burritos, etc…

The Husband loved taco night. I used a whole grain taco shell open-faced. Topped with the shredded chicken, lettuce, a little cheddar, homemade guac, and home-grown tomatoes from The Husbands garden. Served with a side of  jalapeno(straight from my side of the garden)garlic butter grilled corn. Delicious:)

Corn recipe is on the way. Hope you enjoy. How do you do taco night? Do you use the crock pot?
