An Easy Summer Recipe: Mexican Street Corn

I love this easy-to-make, yummy Elote street corn (recipe link) for summer entertaining. 

As the days grow longer and warmer, it's time to take our gatherings outdoors. This summer, why not add a touch of artisanal charm to your al fresco dining with Ladybird Ceramics' handpainted serving bowls?

Each bowl features a unique, hand-painted design and convenient handles, making them perfect for passing around shared dishes. The vibrant colors and patterns evoke the spirit of summer, adding a lively touch to any tablescape.

It also looks so good on our handle bowls! 

One dish that pairs beautifully with these bowls is Mexican street corn, or elote. This zesty, creamy, slightly spicy corn dish is a crowd-pleaser that's easy to prepare and serves up beautifully in Ladybird's bowls. Here's how to make it:
