I hosted Sunday brunch last week and tried an appetizing dairy-free gratin recipe in Food and Wine. It was a hit, of course. Anything out of Food and Wine is tasty.
I was craving this dish a few days later and made some slight changes the second time around. Since there is absolutely no cheese, butter, or cream, I thought I could add some pancetta to introduce a flavor it was previously missing. Additionally, topping it with roasted tomatoes added a slight sharpness which contrasted wonderfully with the potatoes.

Corn grilled in the husk is one of the best summer eats. I simply love corn. Ron grew up eating fresh corn his grandfather grew, but his mom never grilled it. Making it outside and not in a pot of boiling water inside is something we really enjoy doing together. We even did it at our wedding garden party we had in California after we got married in the Caribbean. We still grill it every chance we get.
