Two Simple Things for Sunday
The light is starting to soften, the days are a little shorter, and yet summer still clings to the edges — sweet corn, ripe tomatoes, and zucchini in abundance.
This time of year always feels like a pause. A quiet moment before the pace picks up again. And in my kitchen, that often means keeping things simple — a little time at the grill, a handful of fresh ingredients, and a meal that tastes like summer.
Today, I’m sharing two simple things: a favorite grilled salad recipe and a quick tip that brings out the best in late-summer corn.
🌽 1. Grilled Corn Zucchini Salad
Fresh, bright, and full of flavor.
This salad captures everything I love about late summer: sweet corn, tender zucchini, juicy tomatoes, and a tangy lemon-feta dressing. It’s easy, beautiful, and endlessly adaptable.
Serve it paired with grilled chicken or fish, or tuck it into pita with hummus. It’s a summer keeper.
🔥 2. A Quick Tip for Grilling Corn
No grill? No problem.
A cast-iron skillet or grill pan works beautifully. Just brush the corn with olive oil and let it char slightly in a hot pan, turning every few minutes. The flavor deepens just enough to bring out the sweetness — and it still tastes like summer.
If you're in the mood for more seasonal inspiration, here are a couple of favorites:
Sautéed Corn with Basil — simple and fresh
Easy Corn Chowder — for the sometimes chilly days of late summer
Corn and Zucchini Pasta — quick, easy, and perfect August
Wishing you a beautiful Sunday filled with golden light and something fresh on your plate!
Until next time,
Stephanie
