Quick and Easy Corn on the Cob
There’s nothing quite like fresh corn on the cob in the summertime. I grew up eating it straight off the cob, slathered in butter and sprinkled with salt. It’s one of my all-time favorite memories from childhood.
These days, I still enjoy corn on the cob, but I like to mix things up a bit. One of my favorite ways to eat it is to grilled Corn on the Cob with Herb Butter. The butter melts right into the kernels and infuses them with flavor.
