My name is Aris. Aris is pronounced (heiress) and I'm not sure what the meaning is. Several years ago, when I was asked what my name meant, I replied that Aris was a Greek Sexx Goddess (what can I say I'm a romance writer). Unfortunately, my husband happened to be near, he looked over at me, rolled his eyes, and said very loudly "I wish". I've moved on to another story, which happens to be true. I was born in the seventies to a pair of hippies, real hippies. Having said that, I think I got off lucky with the name Aris. It could have been much worse, Fruit Stand or something like that. So, Aris it is.

Grilled Corn, Crema Mexicana & Cilantro Crostini

I’m making this Mexicana Corstini for lunch. Doesn’t it look so yummy! It’s from Bon Appétit Magazine

I hope everyone is having a fabulous Father’s Day weekend!
2 ears corn, shucked
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Kosher salt
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
12 slices of ciabatta bread (I’ve used sourdough too)
1/2 garlic clove
1/4 cup crema mexicana or sour cream
3 tablespoons crumbled feta
Lime wedge
Cilantro leaves
Chili powder

Rub corn with vegetable oil. Season corn with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper; grill until slightly charred and tender. Slice corn off the cob in wide strips.
Grill bread slices and rub with garlic clove.
Mix crema mexicana or sour cream with feta.
Smear toasts with crema mixture. Top crema with grilled corn. Squeeze a lime wedge over each. Garnish with cilantro leaves and sprinkle with chili powder.
Enjoy!
