Recipe: Mexican-Style Corn on the Cob

A few weeks ago was the Italian Festival here in Philly. Street festivals of any kind usually mean grilled corn on the cob, Mexican style.

With 4th of July right around the corner, Katie, her Husband (which I will refer to only as Brother-in-Law) and myself started discussing what to make for a picnic. We had different ideas about salads, hamburgers vs. hotdogs, and even what to drink. There was one thing, however, we all could agree on! No 4th of July picnic would be complete without S’mores!
