But moving on. I want to introduce you to this month's co-host. This girl is not only a sweet and encouraging friend, but a wise one at that. She's got a heart for Jesus and she lives in the PNW, too! Yep, we were meant to be friends. But I'll stop talking and let her take over my blog instead.

Hi there! I'm so excited to be joining Kiki in bringing you this month's The Circle linkup! My name is Susannah and I blog over at Simple Moments Stick. I live with my handsome hubby, Nate, in Portland, Oregon (Do you live nearby? I’d LOVE to meet you IRL!) where he attends Seminary to get his pastoral degree. Sometimes it scares me that I’m going to be a pastor’s wife but thankfully God is in control! Nate and I have been married just over two years but I definitely still give us newlywed status. Maybe we’ll always be newlyweds… Simple Moments Stick is a place where I share all aspects of my life. One day you I might share the stories of my family’s adoptions (I have eleven brothers and sisters), another day I might talk about my faith and what God is doing in my life, and a third day I might flaunt how awesome my husband is. (Although, he thinks that should be ALL I blog about) My heart behind my blog is to connect with other women around the country (and world!) to love on and encourage one another. Come on over and visit! Make sure you leave a comment so I know you stopped by and I’d LOVE to become your friend!!!
When I emailed Susannah about possible topics, she suggested sharing favorite recipes. And upon reading her idea, I was sold. I mean, who doesn't love to eat and look at photos that make our mouths water? It's a blogger-must to love food, if you ask me.

So without further adieu, here's my favorite summertime recipe:

And yes, it really is easy. Here's what you need:
- Grilled corn on the cob
- Grated Cotija cheese (found at most grocery stores)
- Fresh lime juice
- Chili powder
After they've cooled, we remove the husks, rinse them under water (to clean them off), and then they're ready to be eaten.


Now comes the fun part--flavor! I sound like Emeril or Bobby Flay writing this don't I? Anyway, simply grate some of the Cotija cheese, pull out your chili powder, and slice a couple of limes.


Then, all you have to do is sprinkle some cheese and chili powder on top of the ear of corn and squeeze some fresh lime juice on top. Yep, it really is that easy.

...and delicious. Enjoy!

Yay, I'm glad you found my blog as well! I can't wait to check out your salmon recipe--it's my favorite kind of fish! :)
DeleteSounds fabulous! I love new recipes. I make at least 3/4 of the ones I come across (I feel like a regular gourmet now that Pinterest and blogging has entered my life).
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting!
xoxo
Finding new recipes is the best and it's also one of the reasons why I love Pinterest and blogging! And your pasta recipe sounds delicious. Garlic AND Parmesan cheese? Yum. :) Thanks for linking up!
DeleteOoo... Sounds so good!!! I'm going to have to try it since Nate and I have about 97 ears of corn in our fridge after visiting his grandparent's farm. Thanks for letting me cohost, dear!
ReplyDeleteWow, that's a lot of corn! And yes, it really is easy to make--I hope you try it out! :)
Delete#1 YUMMMM
ReplyDelete#2 THE CIRCLE YAY!
#3...OH M GOSH OUR BLOG DESIGN I LOVE IT!
i'm going to have some blog-design-related questions missy hahhaaha
In response to #1: YES, so yummy. We honestly cannot eat corn on the cob if it's not prepared like this anymore! So, so good. :)
Delete#2: YES! The Circle's back. Have I mentioned before that I want to co-host with you sometime? Because I'd LOVE to.
#3: Thank you, thank you! It wasn't actually too hard to do now that I've learned how to do some things since I designed Megan's blog. And keep those questions coming! We'll see how many answers I know. :)
I love Susannah! She is so so sweet. Can't wait to link up with y'all! And can I just say this recipe sounds so. darn. good. That has got to be the easiest thing in the world to make!
ReplyDeletePS- still can't get over how much I love your new design!
I know, Susannah is the sweetest. :) I can't wait to read your recipe!
DeleteAnd it's weird, but when I was writing this post, I immediately thought of you and our shared love for Mexican food (which for me, at least, didn't really start up until this year!). :)
And thanks again! I love hearing that others love my design. I've always been a fan of yours as well!
This sounds great!
ReplyDeleteI love this months topic, i enjoyed linking up :)
I can't wait to co-host with you February!
It really is--definitely one of my fave recipes out there. Yours sounds and looks good, too! :)
DeleteAnd I'm also loving this month's topic. It's a great one and one that I think a lot of other people will enjoy, too. And I can't wait either! I think we've got a great topic going and I can't wait to read everyone's posts!
Mine too.
DeleteYeah me too, i think it will be great to read everyones thoughts :)
Uh yummm! This looks so delicious and amazing!
ReplyDeleteIt really is! One of my favorite summer recipes--if only corn on the cob grew all year long! :)
DeleteFirst, love the new look, looks great! And absolutely digging the food photography! You know how I love great photos. And hopefully I can join you in your next link-up. I always seem to stumble upon them as they are happening, I never catch them before.
ReplyDeleteThank you Samantha! I'm really loving it, too! And I'm hoping my blog designing crazy mind will keep it for at least a couple months, haha. :)
DeleteAnd I'm a sucker for good food photography, too so I know what you mean. It's even more of a compliment coming from photographer like you!
There's still time to link-up if you'd like! The link-up lasts through the end of this month. :) And I get it, usually I try to have it on the second Wednesday of each month, but this month's got off schedule due to blogging calendar conflicts!
