"In Mexico it is common to have grilled corn with mayo and spices. Street vendors regularly sell this- This is a version that you can eat in a cup- fresh corn, grilled, and a poblano crema that is awesome!"

<p>I love to cook!  But I don't do the weekday cooking, that is done by my awesome wife.  I cook on the weekends and especially on our 'cheat day'- meaning every Sunday as we adapt to this low carb life.  We have been doing this for a while and we really love to get those heart-stopping, brain-freezing receipes that low carbers crave throught the week. </p> <p>Since the start of the year, I've lost 25 pounds and I'm hoping to lose more, but along the way I want to learn how to cheat really, REALLY good.  Most of my cheat receipies come from here!</p>
