It’s healthy, it’s sweet with a kick of spice, and it’s super easy to make because it’s not an exact recipe. Want more watermelon? Toss it in. Want more sesame seeds? Knock yourself out.

I’ve become obsessed with my spiralizer because vegetables morph into these fun-to-eat noodles in seconds and the best part: you look so fancy for it. Spiralizing is the best way to get some oohs and aahs from the crowd, when you really you did nothing to deserve ’em (except read this blog).

Mom will love it cause it’s healthy and she of course wants dad to eat more fruit and vegetables. Dad will love it cause you made it. *cue the awwwwwws*

As soon as I saw these ears in Trader Joe’s (for $0.49 a piece!) I snatched ’em up and starting thinking about how to cook ’em. Luckily Gwynnie had a recipe in It’s All Good that I could easily riff off.

These were a little spicy, a little sweet and only took about a half hour to make. Though next time I may put the sauce on the side, cause B didn’t love it. “This was delicious; I just prefer my corn plain. I’m a simple guy.” Yea, message received. But I liked it — nay, loved it — so maybe like those choose your own adventure novels, next time he can choose not to use so much, while I choose to drown mine in it. (Or I can make it the same way and have all the corn to myself.)

Either way it goes well with any main dish. I served it alongside a salad with veggie burger on top, which made me feel like I was poolside, at a summer barbecue. Soon enough, right?!
