Corn on the Cob: Fast, easy, & No Mess!

My sister in law turned me on to this technique a few months ago, and I’ve used it twice since then. I don’t think I’ll ever go back to my old method of doing corn on the cob! I love corn, but I hate all the mess and hassle. I’ve always boiled my corn, but it’s such a pain to heat up the giant pot of water–it takes time. And I HATE shucking corn. It’s messy, and it gets…

Conchigliette & Three Cheese with Lobster & Bacon

I’ve created an elegant twist to an American classic and baked it up in a portion-controlled size.

And for that elegant touch, and to create a twist on a classic dish, lobster and crumbled bacon are blended in for…
