Vegetarian Sweet Corn Recipes for Summer

I am about to jump on a plane bound for Illinois. It will be the first time Mack will meet most of the family and all I’m hoping is that the plane ride goes okay. I’m actually excited to be catching the end of summer in Illinois- it’s been something I miss every year (minus the humidity- I’ve never missed that). I always feel that there’s a certain quality to small-town, slowed down summers.

In honor of heading back to the midwest, I thought I’d shared with you some of my favorite sweet corn recipes from the archives of the site. I won’t ramble on again about my love of sweet corn but I will say that if you can pick some up before the season ends, do it. This is just a sampling of the sweet corn recipes I have on my site and if you want to see the full collection, pop over to the sweet corn page!

A bit on the unusual side, these enchiladas are one of my favorite enchilada variations. I’m addicted to chipotle flavor and it blends well with the smoothness of ricotta.

This has been my go-to summer salad. If you haven’t tried freekah before, this is a great starting point. Freekah and sweet corn make for a wonderful combination.
