Crispy corn nuggets - the easiest, crispiest summer side!


Hi Reader,

When I was a teenager in Illinois, I spent about a month detasseling corn. If you didn't grow up around cornfields, that's the job where you walk the rows in the July heat and pull the tassel off the top of every stalk. It is hot, buggy, and pretty miserable, and by the end of that summer, I was convinced I never wanted to look at corn again.

Luckily, that did not last.

These days, fresh summer sweet corn is one of my favorite things to cook with, and right now my obsession is turning it into crispy little corn nuggets. Golden and crunchy on the outside, sweet and tender in the middle, with cheddar, green onion, and a little paprika worked into the batter. They fry up in about a minute and they disappear off the plate faster than I can set it down.

They come together fast and are made for dipping. Sriracha mayo and ranch are the favorites at our house, with honey mustard a close third.

Crispy Corn Nuggets

If you're firing up the grill this weekend, this is the perfect crispy side next to burgers, brats, chicken, steak - you name it!


Enjoy!

zucchini casserole

Hi Reader, September always feels like such a funny in-between month to me. We still have zucchini and tomatoes hanging around, and the afternoons can still feel very much like summer...but the mornings are getting cooler, the kids are fully back into their routines, and suddenly I'm starting to think about soup, casseroles, and baking something warm on the weekend. I'm not quite ready to go all-in on pumpkin everything yet. But I am ready for food that's just a little cozier. And this Cheesy...

Hi Reader, How is it already Labor Day weekend? I know summer doesn't *officially* end for a few more weeks, but Labor Day always feels like the turning point to me. School is back, the evenings are getting a little shorter, and I'm already starting to see pumpkin everything creeping into the stores. But I'm not quite ready yet. We still have peaches. We still have sweet corn. And we still have a perfectly good long weekend ahead of us. So if you're planning a cookout, having a few friends...

bbq chicken drumsticks

Hi Reader, Is anyone else feeling that late-August shift? Summer isn’t technically over, but around here we’re already settling back into school schedules, practices, homework, and all the other things that suddenly make 5:00 feel a whole lot busier. (How does it always come so quickly? Glad to be back in a schedule, but...it's always a little bittersweet 😢.) So I’m firmly back in easy dinner mode. These Oven-Baked BBQ Chicken Drumsticks have been a favorite at our house for a long time, and...
