Summer Grilling
June is here and summer is around the corner (my summer vacation starts Friday!)… These corn discs are great for parties, everyone can have as little or as much as they like. Their tiny size makes them perfect for kids or as appetizers. Great idea for a Father’s Day Menu!

Grilled Corn Discs

Ingredients:
corn, butter, fresh chopped cilantro, fresh ground sea salt, fresh ground pepper, lime juice, lime zest

Directions:
Husk corn and throw away husk and silk. Slice cob into 2″ thick discs. Soak in water with a splash of lime juice (or lemon juice). Grill discs over medium heat, turning a few times. Mist discs with lime juice as they grill. Remove from heat and brush or rub with butter to your liking, toss in cilantro, sea salt, pepper and zest. Serve hot.

*Play around with combinations of lime, orange and lemon juice and zest for the corn. Change it to use and match your favorite fresh herbs.

My Favorite Combinations: Lime Cilantro, Lemon Basil, Orange Dill

I’m ready for warm weather, ready to grill… on my new deck. With Cinco de Mayo tomorrow, I decided make things a bit festive (last night) with a semi-Mexican dish. Time for Lime Chicken…

Lime Chicken

Ingredients:
chicken breasts, 1/4 c. red wine vinegar, 2 limes, 1 tsp. garlic powder, 2 tsp. sugar, salt, pepper, handful of fresh cilantro, shredded lettuce (or mixed greens), diced tomatoes, sour cream, shredded Pepper Jack cheese

Directions:
Juice and zest lime, mix in vinegar, garlic, sugar, salt and pepper. Add chicken breasts and marinate for a few hours. Grill, sauté or bake chicken. Remove from heat and add cheese to melt. Add a squeeze more of fresh lime juice. Serve on a bed of shredded lettuce, top with diced tomatoes, chopped cilantro and a dollop of sour cream.

*Serve with your favorite rice side dish.
