Nebraska Street Corn

Happy Foodie Friday, Friends!

This week we are stirring up some foods for Memorial Day weekend. If you haven’t noticed yet, it’s hot outside so this is the perfect time to fire up those grills and keep your cooking outside!

This recipe was inspired by friend, Christy Wilson. Christy is a Registered Dietitian who lives in Tucson, Arizona and she’s working on her first cookbook. Christy is an amazing cook and last year developed this recipe for Mexican skillet street corn. I also recorded a podcast with Christy, which you can listen to here. I’m using Christy’s Chile mayo sauce recipe, but since this sweet corn was grown in Nebraska, I’m calling it Nebraska Street Corn.
