The Farmer's Frittata (Italian-Style Omelet)
Loaded with fresh vegetables and a touch of bacon, this farmer's frittata is my favorite type of frittata. It's a perfect way to use your gorgeous, fresh garden vegetables. Curing the squash with kosher salt pulls out the bitterness and makes the squash taste sweeter. It's got great texture, taste, and visual appeal and can be served hot, warm, at room temperature or cold for any meal of the day.

Mexican Corn on the Cob (Elote)
Elote is Mexican corn on the cob that's grilled until charred, then smothered in butter, mayonnaise, and crumbled cotija cheese. This recipe was given to me by a Mexican friend of mine. Street vendors there sell their corn made this way. So delicious!
