My produce bushel arrived Saturday with, among other things, 3 ears of bi-color corn.
Summer’s here!
And while we ate the corn simply with butter and a sprinkling of herbs, I remembered this recipe for Summer Corn and Tomato Saute. I hope you enjoy it.

I love corns, but I had to admit that I usually buy those canned one from the stores…they are quite delicious. Fresh one must taste even better.
