It’s August! Around here that means that corn is in season. YUM! This grilled corn on the cob with herbed parmesan butter is a great way to use it.
There is nothing better than the taste and smell of fresh grilled corn on the cob. It is perfect all by itself or served with your other favorite grilled foods such as Grilled Balsamic Marinated Steak.
