Veg Blog and Recipes

I got an email from PETA with some blogs to check out, and this one is one of my new TOPS. I have linked the blog on the side of this one, and also wanted to paste one of the blogger's recipes on here (in case you don't go to the blog yourself you could try out one of the recipes below). They both sound YUMMY!!

Jalapeño-Corn Salad


1 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
4 ears sweet corn, kernels cut off
1-2 jalapeños, seeded and diced
2 tsp. white vinegar
4 tsp. fresh lime juice
Cayenne pepper and salt, to taste
1 scallion, thinly sliced
2 Tbsp. chopped cilantro
1 cup cherry tomatoes, cut in half

•Heat the olive oil in a large skillet and sauté the corn and jalapeños over medium heat for 7 to 8 minutes, or until the corn is tender. Remove from the heat.

•Place in a large bowl and add the vinegar, lime juice, cayenne, and salt. Toss to coat. Let cool.

•Add the remaining ingredients and serve.

Makes 5 to 6 servings
