The versatility of grilled corn -- I love grilling corn in the summer.  You can eat it right off the cob or remove the kernels and add them to soups, salsas or salads.  Click here to see how to easily cut the kernels off the cob.  The sweet, smokey corn flavor adds a great touch to lots of light summer dishes like my Salsa with Grilled Corn.  Get my recipe in the farmers' market story located near the top of the e-newsletter.

Exotic greens recommendation -- Farmer Mike from Homestead Farm recently turned me on to African Sawa Sawa and Water Leaf greens, and I loved them!  Both are in season now.  They added a nice tart kick to my Sawa Sawa Melon salad.  Get my recipe in the farmers' market story located near the top of the e-newsletter.  I'm not sure if you'll find both greens in the grocery store, but definitely check out your local farmers' market.
