Quick Corn Saute
A simple, really simple side dish is what I turn to on those never ending hectic days. A simple side dish that bursts with flavor, is it possible? Yes. Yes. Yes.
A quick corn saute loaded with celery, carrots, garlic and cilantro provide not only flavor, but add brightness to your table. My kids are visual eaters, so I try to add flavor/color to every meal.
This side dish was a winner. Quick, tasty and as my 6yr put it “so pretty!” Enjoy!

Bet this would be fabulous with fresh summer corn, too — at least while we still have another month of it before the season ends. 😉
