I want to thank Ellen of Family Around the Table and Christie of A Kitchen Hoor's Adventures for hosting this timely event.  I have been hitting farm stands and markets every chance I get, especially our neighborhood Potato Joes who has the best sweet corn you can find.

I used some of that sweet corn, along with some green bell peppers from my neighbor's garden and fresh parsley from my garden to create this delicious and beautiful dish.
