Did you know you can toss the corn in the oven along side another dish and bake it right in the husk?

Bake at 350 for about an hour and you will have perfectly cooked corn.  Sometimes I husk it first and put it in a pan covered with foil so I don’t have to deal with husking it when it’s hot…either way it is such a great way to cook corn.  Extra bonus is that it stays hot for a while, so it is great for buffets.

    Wow does this look amazing! I found you over at the Treasure Box Tuesday link party. I host Tickle My Tastebuds Tuesday and would love it if you linked up this recipe. I’m sure our party goers would love it as much as I do. Here is the link http://bit.ly/1l4cu0j. Have a wonderful day!!

  9. What a wonderful looking dish. I love the fresh tomatoes on top of the ricotta and spinach mixture. I will have to take off the crust for gluten free, but you know what I think it could be great that way too.
