One of my favorite foods in summer is fresh corn. Here in Colorado, we have wonderful corn from the town of Olathe — sweet, juicy and tender. Over the years, I’ve accumulated or created numerous recipes that pay homage to this delicious food. Here are the best of the best, all of which have been prepared numerous times, not only me but also family and friends – all of whom agree they are easy, reliable, and full of fresh, sweet corn flavor!
Corn and Prosciutto Salad
For this quick and easy side dish, cut corn off the cob and sauté it with onion and prosciutto (or bacon), then top it off with chopped fresh chives. So simple and fresh — and so scrumptious! Tip on removing corn kernels from the cob included!

There’s nothing like a fresh ear of corn during the summer. It’s the perfect complement to any BBQ, and everyone loves it, even kids! My go-to preparations for fresh corn are boiling, grilling or sautéing. However, I have never been able to serve fresh corn to a crowd – until I found this solution!
