Why does summer always go so quickly?  I’m just getting into my grilling groove.  Here’s a simple recipe for all of that corn I saw at the Farmer’s Market today.

Seasoned Corn on the Cob

Shuck 6 ears of corn.  Lightly brush each ear of corn with melted butter.  Season with the Basics Fuirst Spice Blend of your choosing.  (My go-to for this is Chili Seasoning.) Wrap each ear in foil and place on a hot barbecue grill.  Cook for 10 minutes, turning frequently.  Serves 6.
