Grilled Corn Cobs With Tomato-Herb Spread
"From Pampered Chef. Ears of corn are smothered with a delicious flavored butter and grilled. Good to prepare ahead of time and take camping. The tomato-herb spread is good on breads or other vegetables too. Dried herbs could be used in place of the fresh if necessary."

Putmine in my smoker while cooking other things. Talk about flavorful! Definately on the list for BBQ season! -
Loved it! these were tasty and easy to make for a delicious lunch. I used mostly basil and thyme since I had a heap of it and I upped the garlic to two cloves, I used my oven grill since it wasn't BBQ weather, and although mine were cooked though in 20 minutes, I think that the corn would have had *even more* flavour if I'd done it a bit longer. I didn't end up doing mine for longer simply because I was too lazy to re wrap them: they looked so good and I was hungry LOL. DO use a decent oven glove to turn it over, it gets hot! Please see my rating system: a tasty lunch that I will be making again. Thanks!
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
After graduating from college in spring of 2007, I am now working as a Traffic Engineer. Now that I have free time instead of homework, I've been trying all sorts of new recipes that are more involved.
I am always trying to get healthy food into my husband and 7-year old step-son. I am slowly wearing on them, both of them will finally eat vegetables with every dinner. Both of them like helping in the kitchen, especially on mini pizza nights!
We have a 4-year old male lab/golden retriever mix and when the two "boys" get going, look out!
I participated in my in-law's family Christmas party this year by bringing almond roca. It was a huge hit and everyone wants it again next get-together! I will definately bring it again, but I don't want to give the recipe out to them because it is so easy and I like them thinking I worked by butt off!!
A cooking tragedy I once had in high school: I was making some pesto for my mom and I to have with lunch. At the time, I didn't know the difference between a clove and a bulb of garlic and I ended up putting about half a bulb of garlic in the recipe then stopped because I though "two whole bulbs would be a lot"... the recipe read 2 cloves ... Needless to say, we had bad breath for days and I never forgot what a clove was!!
I haven't tried all of my posted recipes, but if I posted them I thought they sounded good and figured I should give someone else the chance to try them before I get to them.
