My kids just went back to school this week. The weather is all over the place. Yesterday it was 90 degrees with a heat advisory and this weekend is suppose to be in the low 70's. Local corn is fading from our markets just like summer. So here is my goodbye to fresh corn dish.

I know Bisquick can be a great time saver... but I didn't know that you can make a cake like this with it.

Always good to see you Annamaria.
DeleteHi Diane,
ReplyDeleteI just love those Fried Green Tomatoes, and your Mexican Shrimp Avocado and Corn dish looks delicious can't wait to try it. Thanks for the great party!
Miz Helen
Yes, the Fried Green Tomatoes would go so well with my mexican shrimp dish... thanks for coming by Miz Helen.
DeleteThanks for the party and feature, Diane :) Have a blessed weekend!
ReplyDeleteYou too Jamie. Really love your cake. I will be pining and tweeting it too.
DeleteThank you Diane for another party!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the weekend :)
Good to see you Winnie... looks like things may be a little calmer in your part of the world. I alway pray for you.
DeleteI love fresh corn, but the corn we get here pales in comparison to the corn on the cob you can get in North America. I had some in Canada earlier this year and it was so delicious! Your Mexican Shrimp, Avocado and Corn looks delicious and really healthy too. Thank you for hosting Foodie Friday. This week i've shared Banana Date Cake with Walnut and Honey Glaze.
ReplyDeleteI remember you telling me about the sad corn in England. How is the frozen? This dish works really well with frozen. Your cake sounds delicious. Thanks as always for coming by.
DeleteThanks for featuring my fried green tomatoes Dianne. I really appreciate all you do for us by hosting each week.
ReplyDeleteI have a hard time saying goodbye to summer, but your healthy & tasty salad would ease the pain. Black beans and corn seem like a perfect match.

Fried green tomatoes are really the sign that summer is over. I remember picking all the tomatoes that were left on the vine with my grandmother before the first frost... thanks for bringing back some great memories.
DeleteThis looks delicious Diane! I think I could easily make this for my lunch, and not have to worry that everyone else will complain about the shrimp.
ReplyDeleteYou can substitute chicken for the shrimp and maybe your whole family might eat it.
DeleteNah, I'm feeling selfish :) That would be a crowd pleaser though with chicken
DeleteThanks for the invitation to join in. Have a fabulous weekend.
ReplyDeleteGreat to have you... love the smoothie on your blog.
DeleteImpossible Coconut Pie is one of my Mama's favorites. :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting!

That's awesome.
DeleteWe're both thinking about corn! :) My recipe this week calls for frozen corn, but fresh corn would be fantastic too, I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteYes, it is corn time of year.
DeleteOh yum, that Mexican shrimp looks delicious Diane! Thanks for another awesome party. Have a great weekend! :)
ReplyDeleteYOu too Lisa, always good to see your recipes here.
DeleteI love this refreshing dish, Diane! It looks so delicious. We are having a little heat wave here in FL right now. Last week it was actually cooling down a bit but the past two days have been horrible! I'm definitely ready for Fall to arrive.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing at Marvelous Mondays. Pinning and sharing on social media! Have a great week!
You are very welcome Julie.. we just got over a heat wave here in NY. I hope it cools down for you soon. My husband is from FL and I have visited there a lot... it can be terribly humid.

Oh that shrimp dish looks yummy! Thanks for hosting & featuring! :)
ReplyDeleteMexican shrimp sounds much yummy,crunchy,delicious here.... I love to eat sea food and this dish is one of my favorite meals. Whenever i go to Mexico with family i order that dish because it has great collective taste of vegetables and rich flavor of shrimps. If this year i got chance to go with family then definitely learn this dish from their and made it for my friends.
