Over the course of the last few years I have changed my approach to how I both eat and cook food. I do most of my shopping locally and try to buy as much organic as I can. While I used to shop once a week and have waste at the end of the week I now aim to shop on market days so I get the best produce of the day. With that said sometimes you can't get to the farmers market, or grocery store let along leave your house or office at a normal hour so this recipe is perfect for one of those days.

Greek salads are one of my favorites but sometimes I want to get to the good stuff and eat all the juicy crunchy bites of tomatoes, cucumber and pepper. So with this salad I skip the lettuce and go for a straight chopped vegetable salad loaded with herbs and topped with feta and calamari.

My favorite meals are usually the ones that I don’t plan to make, they come more organically in the moment when I am having a craving and most often they are made out of staple ingredients I always have on hand in my kitchen.

Seriously, I love corn. It is such a sweet versatile vegetable great raw in salads, sautéed as a side dish, eaten right off the cob after some time on the grill or enjoyed in a soup;there is really no wrong way to enjoy this vegetable. First thought, lets get some corn facts.
