Oven-Baked Spiced Corn

Welcome back!

Today, we have a quick recipe to enhance something very simple: corn! This method of preparing corn is inspired by the viral dish, "corn ribs", but it's really not anything too complicated, consisting primarily of just a seasoning rub over the corn. The interesting component to this dish is how the corn sort of curls when cooked because of being quartered the way it is.

Oven-Baked Spiced Corn

Ingredients:

2 ears corn
1 tablespoon melted butter/oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon salt
Pinch of cayenne (optional)

Directions:

Cut the corn into quarters to create four long strips. This will be easier if you cut the corn in half first, giving you eight shorter strips.
Mix the melted butter/oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and cayenne together in a bowl.
Rub this mixture on the corn.
Bake in the oven at 425°F for 10-12 minutes. For an oven like ours with an air-fry setting, you could air-fry it at 400°F for about 10 minutes.

Honestly, there's just something fun about eating corn like this, with the shape resembling those of a rib. And even though many other preparations of this dish call for quartering the whole ear of corn (instead of half), where do you ever find ribs that are that long? We believe that halving the ears actually makes everything easier, even if the full-length corn curves nicer.

Key Lime Pie

Welcome back! Today, we have one of my favorite desserts: Key Lime Pie! There's so many things that are great about this dish from the texture to the combination of flavors. Plus, I prefer the flavor of key limes as compared to normal limes, as key limes are tarter and more citrus-y. Now this is a sour dish, so if that's not your thing, then you can cut back on some of the key lime juice and it'll be better. Any way, it's a great dessert! Key Lime Pie Makes a 10" tart pan or 9" pie pan Ingredients: Crust: 2 1/2 cups almond flour 6 tablespoons butter, diced 1/4 cup sugar Pinch of salt If you want to use graham crackers for the crust, use about 1 1/2 cups (150 grams) of crushed graham cracker crumbs (about 10 sheets) along with 5 tablespoons melted butter and mix. Filling: 4 egg yolks* 1 14-ounce can of condensed milk 2/3 cup key lime juice (about 1 pound of key limes should be enough for decorations too) 1 tablespoon key lime zest *If you don't want to use...
