I have two farmers that I buy sweet corn from, Freeman’s in Lewes and Filasky’s in Middletown. They are each heads and shoulders above any other corn I have ever had. Which I buy simply depends on whether I am in the southern or northern end of the state the day I am buying corn….

Corn, Edamame & Tomatoes with Pasta and Basil Oil
If it was a little later in the season, all the vegetables except the corn would be from my garden. But I couldn’t wait that long, so the corn is from Preston, Maryland, the tomatoes from Highland Orchards, the edamame is frozen, but the scallions and basil ARE from my garden. This is such a…
Chard and Sweet Corn Tacos
We had our first frost last night. So the two ears of Filasky’s corn that were in my fridge were probably my last local corn of the year. I paired them with some swiss chard from my garden in Martha Rose Shulman’s tacos. It is a sad time of year in my garden; things are…
Corn Salad with Feta and Walnuts
I had more of the Freeman’s corn, so I decided to try a corn salad with dinner tonight. How could it not be good with toasted walnuts, feta and jalapeños? Well, it wasn’t good, it was great! So much flavor and texture! And it was a good thing the corn salad was so good, because…
Corn, Avocado, Chickpea & Tomato Salad
Local corn is still delicious. My tomatoes are still delicious, not so pretty, but oh, so delicious. Look at how luscious they are when I cut them open, that’s when their beauty shines… The girls are all out of the house now, so it is time for us to eat a little lighter and healthier…
Pasta with Tomato Pesto & Corn
To be honest, I was not expecting much when I made this dish. The thought of a tomato-based pesto intrigued me, but I did not expect the nice pesto flavor that the sauce actually had. It had a rich texture from the nuts, a bright flavor from the basil and fresh tomatoes, a great bite…
Succotash Salad
Most of the time, I try a recipe, I have to make changes, it just doesn’t seem right to me. This salad by Katie Lee is an exception, I made it just as it was written and it was a really happy addition to our dinner. Not only that, it met my “is it great…
Garden Bounty Israeli Couscous Salad
I love Israeli couscous, the texture is so much fun! I couldn’t wait to mix in the veggies from my garden to create a salad. I went a little overboard though. I had just harvested some carrots and decided to include those as well. But they were just a bit too crunchy, the texture did…
Zucchini Tortilla Casserole
It has been a few years since I have had a good zucchini crop. This year has been great so far. Barely keeping up with using them; I see a lot of zucchini bread baking in my future. I decided to try an adaptation of Marcela Valladolid’s Zucchini Tortilla Casserole for dinner. To be honest, it was…
Corn Gazpacho
It’s hot, I don’t want to cook, I don’t want a salad, but I have a lot of veggies on hand, even some fresh corn from a local farmer. So I pull out my blender and throw it all in… The color doesn’t look so pretty, but the taste makes up for it. A refreshing lunch……
