Corn, Quinoa, and Tomato Salad

A delicious summer medley that's insanely healthy.

First, bring water in a large pot to boil. I like to add some milk to the water as well.
Shuck the corn
Boil the corn for 8 minutes.
Slice the kernels off with a knife, and throw them on the grill until they start getting slightly charred.

Make the quinoa as the instructions on the packet say--normally, you add the quinoa to a pot, cover with water, and cook until most of the water has evaporated.

Slice up some tomatoes in to medium sized chunks.

Combine . Voila! The corn keeps it sweet and adds a slight crunch, the tomatoes keep it moist, and the quinoa gives you amazing health benefits. Delicious and nutritious.

Fresh Trout, and Trout Town, U.S.A. Unite

Goodness gracious. Trout caught in town is delicious! Unfortunately, Brad and I didn't catch the fish.... this time. We did, however, spend approximately an hour and a half today in Roscoe, NY (otherwise known as Trout Town U.S.A. as voted by a country-wide poll), learning the nuances of fly fishing. Which was awesome, by the way. So we thought it was only par for the course to consume some fresh just-caught-today trout tonight for dinner. So we headed to Main Street Farms, which I will have to create a separate post about in the near future, and purchased ourselves a dandy. We grilled up the entire fish, head and all, with a very simple recipe: some lemon juice, salt, pepper, and oregano. Wrapped the sucker in tinfoil, cooked it for approximately 12 minutes, 6, per side. While that was grilling, I sliced up some eggplant, and grilled that on top of tin foil for about the same time, with a simple dressing of oil and salt and pepper. Finally, I had some sugar sweet Georgia corn that I boiled for about 8 minutes in a mixture of water and milk. Everything was delicious, and after going on an 11 mile run/hike up and down insane hills, I was too tired to remember to take a picture. Sorry. But it was DELICIOUS.
