Seriously, I had everything for this recipe in my pantry with the exception of the corn. You can use fresh corn on the cob, frozen cobs or even a can of corn. This recipe with blow your mind!

TIPS AND TRICKS

CORN: I used corn on the cob but I know that there isn’t corn stands this time of year. I have found that most grocery stores will carry corn on the cob in their produce section but if you can’t find any, you can use frozen corn on the cob or a can of corn.

VEGGIES: I only used corn but go ahead and get wild with your veggies! Carrots, zucchini or baby spinach would be a great addition.

SPICE IT UP: Love a little heat? Put a pinch of red pepper flakes to take it to the next level.
