corn

The summer corn is really starting to get good around here. We are entering one of the best times of the year to buy corn and I plan to enjoy it in all its glory while its here by whipping up plenty of corn recipes. Here are some of my favorites, what are yours?

1. Mexican Street Corn, 192 calories, 5 PointsPlus

Take a steamed, roasted, or grilled piece of corn and then slather it in a hint of mayo, lime juice, chili powder, and some crumbled salty cheese and you have the perfect summer treat.

2. Fresh Corn Soup, 123 calories, 4 PointsPlus

This corn soup celebrates all the freshness of corn in a simple, corn packed soup. Perfect for a cool summer evening as a main course or starter.

3. Corn, Bacon, and Onion Frittata, 68 caloires, 2 PointsPlus

This is one of my all time favorite breakfast and lunch meals – a simple frittata packed with fresh corn, bacon, onion, and a touch of heat from a jalapeno. Great warm and cold and very low in calories.

Thank you slender kitchen.
