Grilled Corn with Cilantro Butter

Today is Sunday and boy is it HOT, HOT, HOT out.  Approaching 95 degrees here in NYC I have decided to spend the rest of the day indoors blogging some fabulous Summer recipes.  I had a stack of pulled tears from various magazines sitting in a pile, finally realizing it was time to sift through them.  Oh dear lord, each one looked sooo good.  I was drooling, seriously.  I love Summer!  It's the perfect time to play with fun recipes and not just desserts!! Wonderful veggies like Corn.  Corn is perfect in the summer as part of your meal or just a snack.  I always have corn in my house in the Summer.

Active time/Total time: 20 minutes
Serves 12

Grilled corn is delicious with cilantro butter.  Olive oil can be used in the place of butter if needed.

1 cup packed chopped fresh cilantro
1 stick unsalted butter, room temp.
1/2 tsp. finely grated lime zest, plus 2 tsp. fresh lime juice
12 ears corn, husked
Grated cotjia or Parmesan cheese for sprinkling

1.  Puree cilantro, butter, lime zest and juice, and 1/2 tsp. salt in food processor.
2.  Heat grill to medium-high.  Brush corn with some of the cilantro butter, and season with salt.  Grill corn, turning occasionally, until nicely charred and bright in color, 10-12 minutes.  Brush corn again with remaining cilantro butter.  sprinkle generously with cheese.  Serve warm.

Make ahead:  Cilantro butter can be refrigerated for up to 3 days.  Bring to room temperature before using.

Don't have a grill?  I am sure you can make the corn in the microwave.

Enjoy!! xoxo Julie

Not All Advil Is Gluten-Free!!!

After last night's POST , GF Advil was on my mind and I decided to call Advil/Pfizer this morning to get some more clarification.  In response to my post last night I advised through the website that Advil Liqui-gels, Advil Migraine and Advil Liqui-Gels PM contain a wheat derivative.  After my phone call with a lovely representative I received more information. - ALL ADVIL LIQUI-GELS contain a wheat derivative .   ALL LIQUI-GELS.  So stop these immediately if you are taking the Liqui-gels.  You maybe getting sick from a medication rather then a food and this is so important to recognize!  Just steer clear of Liqui-Gels. -ALL FORMS OF ADVIL MIGRAINE contain gluten .  There is no further information if it is just the Liqui-Gels or the Tablets, Caplets and Gel-Caps.  Pfizer does not have this info therefore they informed me to steer clear of all Advil Migraine pills. Here is what IS GLUTEN-FREE FROM ADVIL: All Advil Tablets, Gel-Caps ( which are different then Li

Hot Chocolate Coffee

Sometimes I feel like there are days only chocolate would understand.  And following a strict Paleo diet does not allot for chocolate eating.  Especially chocolate with added dried cane sugar.  And especially in abundance.  Of course special occasions allot for this type of activity, but today is not that day. So how do you put a sock in your chocolate craving?  Well, simply remove your sock from your foot and put it in your chocolate.  I'm kidding!  Please use a clean sock! Kidding again!!… Often, chocolate cravings can get the best of us, so I created a delicious recipe to kick my craving and your craving.  It's delicious.  And it's perfect for the lover of coffee and chocolate.  Taking a sip of this sent signals of pure decadence to my brain. A lot of my readers often describe how tough it is to drink black coffee without sweetener, so this one is for you guys!!   This recipe is a total Brain Trick.  It tastes sweet and chocolaty, so you think there is swee

Magnolia Bakery-Cream Cheese Frosting

Another amazing frosting recipe from Magnolia!  I swear by these recipes, this is my go-to book for icing when I bake!! 1 pound (two 8-ounce packages) cream cheese, softened and cut into small pieces 6 tbsp. unsalted butter, softened and cut into small pieces 1 1/2 tsp. pure vanilla extract 5 cups sifted confectioners' sugar In a large bowl, on the medium speed of an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese and butter until smooth, about 3 minutes.  Add the vanilla and beat well.  Gradually add the sugar, 1 cup at a time, beating continuously until smooth and creamy.  Cover and refrigerate icing for 2-3 hours, but no longer, to thicken before using. Makes enough for one 2-or 3-layer 9-inch cake Enjoy! xoxo Julie www.goodiegoodiegluten-free.blogspot.com
