Nothing says summer like fresh sweet corn on the grill.

This year, our garden does not seem to be performing very well, but for some reason my corn is growing like a weed. I harvested my first crop of Silver Queen and Peaches & Cream Sweet Corn just this week, and the taste is absolute heaven.

When I think of grilling corn, I generally think salt, pepper and butter. Sometimes when you just want to keep a side dish simple this is the best way to prepare it, but there are other times when spicing up the traditional summer side can be fun. I experimented with some simple, but creative ways to top grilled corn and these recipes can be paired with a variety of dishes.
