Oven Roasted Corn on the Cob in the Husks

I had something totally different planned to share this week, but I am loving Oven Roasted Corn on the Cob in the Husks! So much so, I've made it twice this week alone and several times over the last few weeks. I decided that since corn on the cob is so readily available right now to share this recipe this week. 

I might never boil corn on the cob in water again!! - Okay, I probably will, but right now, I'm finding the flavors of Oven Roasted Corn on the Cob in the Husks so much richer and satisfying, it's hard to imagine.


Oven Roasted Corn on the Cob in the Husks

1 -2 Ears of Corn in the Husks for each person*


Preheat oven to 375 degrees.**

Place corn still in the husks directly on the oven rack.

Bake for 20-30 minutes. Outer husks will dry out and turn quite brown.

Remove from oven and allow to cool until easy to touch.

Remove husks and silks.***

Serve.


* The number of ears of corn will depend on how large the ears of corn are as well as the appetites of the those you're feeding.

** I actually don't preheat my oven. I put the corn in the oven when I turn the oven on because that works best in my oven. It might not in yours, so I went the traditional preheating route for the recipe.

*** The husk and silks tend to just slide off the corn this way. It's way easier than shucking your corn as is traditionally done before boiling it in water.


Note: I use organic ingredients whenever possible.

Orange Cranberry Water

I used to love drinking orange juice with a splash or cranberry juice in it, but I no longer drink fruit juices as a general rule because of the high sugar content and lack of fiber. Sometimes, like this morning, I get a craving for that flavor combination. This water isn't as sweet or as strong, but it satisfies that craving. I like to drink infused water because it helps me keep my hydration up when I get bored with plain water. Since I was craving this this morning and decided to make it to quench my craving, I decided to share it! Orange Cranberry Water 2 oranges 1 cup frozen cranberries 40-60 ounces water Wash oranges. Slice into piece discarding the end pieces. Remove seeds. Gently massage orange slices over the top of a pitcher . Drop slices into the pitcher.  Add cranberries. Fill pitcher with water. Place in the refrigerator and all to infuse for several hours, or overnight. Note: I use organic ingredients whenever possible.

Mango Smoothie

I make many different varieties of smoothies. I like to play with the ingredients.  This  Mango Smoothie  is a rare smoothie where I don't include any berries.  I almost always include some type of greens. In this recipe, I use kale. It gives the smoothie a light greenish tint, which I find rather pretty but some might not.    I decided to make mango the star of this smoothie, which I enjoyed more than I expected.  I find this Mango Smoothie light and refreshing but quite filling. It makes enough for one large smoothie or two small smoothies.  Mango Smoothie 2 cups frozen mango ½ cup walnuts 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1 teaspoon ground ginger 1 teaspoon amla powder (optional) ¼ teaspoon ground cardamom 1 teaspoon matcha powder (optional) 2 teaspoons fruit infused vinegar ½ cup chopped kale 1 small orange 1 small avocado 1 banana Place walnuts, ginger, cinnamon, cardamom, amla, matcha, and vinegar in blender . Blend until becomes a thick chunky butter-like consistency. Add a little

Spelt Biscuits

I remember biscuits at both of my grandmother's houses. They had very different styles for making biscuits, but both had their appeal. What I remember most about them thinking back is how cozy it felt when my grandmas served biscuits, even making biscuits with them felt cozy. I don't think my biscuits have ever been as good as either of theirs, but sometimes I wonder if that's as much about nostalgia as technique. I will readily admit that I find rolling dough kind of soothing and far too often roll my dough a bit too thin for biscuits, as I did when I made these biscuits this morning. So while this variation of biscuits has little in common with the biscuits either of my grandmas made, they both inspired me to develop a biscuit recipe. So, Grammy Stamm and Granny Cooper, this one is in your honor! Spelt Biscuits   2 cups spelt flour 1 tablespoon baking powder 1 teaspoon ground flaxseeds ½ cup hazelnut pulp ¾ cup hazelnut milk 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar     Preheat th
