Cilantro-Parmesan Corn

It is no secret that this summer I have been loving all things corn. I have been adding it to guacamole, putting it on the grill, and using it various salads. I can't get enough of the fresh sweet corn, and I am going to be so sad when they are no longer in season. I will make the most of it while I can! 

This dish is a perfect side dish for any dinner. It is bursting with flavor and doesn't take long to make on the stove. I will suggest for you to have all of your ingredients prepared before you start cooking; it will make the process much easier!
