Or you could try my Grilled corn on the cob or even my quick and easy Microwave Corn (No Shucking).

Ingredients Needed

• Corn- Either white or yellow will work.

• Recipe tips

  • Cut the cobs in half for smaller appetites or little hands.
  • Don't overcook the corn, or else it will make the corn tough.
  • If your summer corn is already sweet, you can leave the added sugar out.
