Midwest Lovin’

SummerMeal

As promised, here she is, my favorite summer meal. This is so easy and quick to prepare. The thing I miss most about the Midwest in the summer is sweet corn on the cob. If you haven’t tried it in the Midwest, you’ve never tasted corn. And nothing pairs better with fresh sweet corn than a BLT with crispy bacon, fresh tomatoes, lettuce, and mayo (Miracle Whip is best in my opinion). I prefer toasted bread, but once in awhile like to switch it up on my third or fourth sandwich and try it untoasted. Although I almost always buy wheat bread, I think BLTs taste best on white. Again, since I don’t eat meat, I subbed Morning Star Bacon Strips as my ‘facon’. It tastes uncannily similar to real bacon. Obviously real bacon is better, but this is a close second for sure.

Bacon

A good rule of thumb I use when cooking corn on the cob is 3 minutes per ear in boiling water. So my two ears got about 6 minutes. I mean, you just need to warm it up – you could practically eat it straight off the cob.

Corn

Add tons of butter, and lots of salt and pepper and you are set.
