The Eats: Corn & Bell Pepper



I like to try and kick up redundant side dishes at times. This is one of my favourite ways to add a little life to corn. It is very simple and quick to make. 

Ingredients:
1 cup of frozen corn (can use canned as well)
1 bell pepper, diced (I prefer to use orange for this recipe)
1 tbsp butter
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/4 tsp chipotle chili pepper (add more if you like lots of heat, or use cracked black pepper)
chopped fresh cilantro (as much as you desire)

Method:
Cook corn as per directions, try not to over cook so it retains firmness.
Add butter, sea salt, chipotle chili pepper, cilantro and bell pepper. Stir together and serve. Tastes great served warm or cold. If there are leftovers, I often reheat in a skillet.

Enjoy!

Lovely Lucy

We are so blessed to have welcomed a new addition to our family. In late May, Lucy joined our family. Which means that our girls are only 13.5 months apart... crazy I know! Yet, it is all working out great. We definitely have our crazy days, but feel so blessed to have our babies so close together. Our lives have become extremely busy, hence the late blog posts. 
Welcome to the family sweet girl. We love you!

Less than a day old.
