Tessa's Recipe Rundown...
Taste: Bursting with flavor! Spicy, sweet, smokey, fresh, and slightly floral from the honey.
Texture: Corn on the cob has such a refreshing texture and I love the slightly charred sections when it's grilled corn on the cob.
Ease: Very easy! This recipe would be perfect for a summer cookout.
Appearance: Don't these just look like summer?
Pros: Delicious and simple.
Cons: Might be too spicy for children or even some adults.
Would I make this again? Yes!
How was everyone’s week?? Are you looking forward to celebrating Father’s Day this Sunday? I wanted to post a recipe that could be enjoyed for Father’s Day and I think this grilled corn on the cob would be a hit at any summer table alongside grilled steak, burgers, hot dogs, or whatever else your family likes to eat on a warm summer day. Do you have any Father’s Day traditions?
Unrelated to Father’s Day, I was talking to a coworker yesterday about pet peeves and we discovered we have many of the same irritations. It’s always nice to realize you’re not the only one to get wildly annoyed when people do particular things. I want to talk about loves and hates.
LOVE.
When you’re waiting at the grocery store checkout line with just a few items and the person ahead with a cart full of stuff lets you cut in line. Even if I see this happen with other people in another checkout line it still makes me smile to think there are still people with decency and courtesy. However, this situation can quickly turn into a hate when someone ASKS if they can cut you in line, especially when you have a similar amount of items.
HATE.
When you’re driving and someone cuts you off to enter your lane then makes you miss a green light while they make it through. Baaaad things come out of my mouth when that happens. Inconsiderate driving in general makes me mad and I find there’s nothing worse than when someone endangers the safety of others because he or she made an error. Like when people suddenly realize, after at least a mile of signage, that they are in the exit lane on the freeway so they violently break then change lanes, nearly causing multiple crashes, instead of DEALING with their mistake and waiting for another exit to turn around safely. UGH.
I want to hear your loves and hates! Please tell me I’m not the only one!

Oh my! I just bought some corn at the store and I think this will be perfect for Father’s Day!
I grill corn all the time, and I love the jalapeno butter idea. I’m going to have to use that one!
Oh yeah I have fresh, sweet corn in the fridge just waiting for something like this!! Thanks for the inspiration!
