The perfect way to use up extra corn

There's nothing like the corn that's available during these last few weeks of summer. You can also use canned if you like your corn a little sweeter. I like to grill mine and then finish it off in the pan, but do whatever works well for you. I like this recipe a lot as it's also a great vegetarian option that doesn't look like rabbit food.
