Sweet corn on the cob is hard to resist and there’s so much to create with it. Imagine fresh corn, its nutty, creamy texture, relished on a cob slathered in butter dusted with smoky chipotle seasoning. Then cut it off the cob and try it in a silky soup or in a fresh salad with roasted cherry tomatoes and edamame or stirred in risotto. A creamy mash of grated corn makes this rich dish all more luscious. The possibilities are endless and the rewards for the long wait of corn are sweet. The blue house is located at 829 S. Dooley Street in Grapevine (tastefullyours.com). BYOB
