PREP TIME: 10 min READY IN TIME: 20 min
SERVINGS: 4 DIFFICULTY: Easy
INGREDIENTS
• 4 ears corn on the cob
• I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter!® Original Spray
• 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon lime zest
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
• 2 tablespoons grated vegan parmesan cheese
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat grill or grill pan over medium high heat. Peel husks from corn.**
Spray the corn liberally with I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter!® Original Spray. Sprinkle the garlic evenly on the corn. Grill for 10 minutes or until corn is tender and lightly charred. Cool slightly.
Spray the grilled corn with more I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter!® Original Spray and sprinkle the lime zest, cumin, cilantro, and vegan parmesan cheese on all sides.

** For a pretty presentation and to make handling hot corn easier, use the husks as handles. Remove the silk from the corn, pull the husks back to form a tail-like handle, and tie with a kitchen string. Cut off excess if desired. Soak the husk “tails” in cold water for about 10 minutes before grilling to prevent burning, or hang the husks over the edge of the grill. To serve as a snack or appetizer, break the corn cobs in half and skewer with wooden skewers or craft sticks.

From Boring to Brilliant: Beef Up Your Burger Builds
Whether you’re a rookie who’s just stepping up to the grates or a grill master looking to take a summer grilling favorite to the next level, we have everything you need to build better burgers. At Price Chopper, find all the burger necessities, as well as innovative ingredients that expand your burger repertoire. Beef up your burger builds and make every cookout memorable with our tips and tricks below.
All About that Bun: Breads and buns are basic staples in many households. Think beyond the average whole wheat bun and get creative with selections like brioche, onion rolls, Hawaiian sweet rolls or even sourdough or Tuscan Bread.
Scratch-Made Perfection: If you choose to make your patties from scratch, use seasonings such as onion powder, garlic powder or cayenne pepper for a kick. When mixing ground chuck with seasoning, be gentle; overmixing can make the burgers dry and tough. To make the patties perfectly uniform, roll the meat in wax paper to form a log, then cut into the desired thickness. During cooking, prevent patties from bulging by creating depressions in the centers with your thumb. Use a spatula rather than tongs to flip the burgers to prevent releasing the tasty juices from the burgers and drying them out.
Humble Handling: Resist the temptation to smash down your beautiful burgers with a spatula. If you press down the spatula on your burger, you’ll lose the natural juices. Instead, using a fork, poke holes in uncooked patties. Heat will work its way through and cook the meat evenly.
Next-Level Toppings: With endless topping possibilities, it’s easy to create burgers that provide delicious bite after bite. Sun-dried tomatoes, pepperoni and pizza sauce are simple yet flavorful additions. Bacon, a traditional topping, can be glazed with maple syrup to add mouthwatering, smoky sweetness. Or, fry a sunny-side-up egg during your burger’s last few minutes of cooking for an oozing, flavor-filled topping. You can also turn to international sauces for new, exciting flavors. Use hummus for a nutritious, Mediterranean twist, or gochujang or curry paste for a spicy kick of Asian or Indian flavors.
Say Cheese! Nothing tops off a burger like one of these perfect melters! Just before your burgers are done, top with your favorite gourmet cheese.
Bleu Cheese: Tangy, buttery and sharp, bleu cheese melts beautifully. Mozzarella: Soft and delicately flavored, perfect for melting.
Sharp Cheddar: Creamy with just the right balance of flavor and sharpness. Swiss Cheese: Nut-like flavor, smooth, delicious and easy to slice.

S’mores are the quintessential campfire or cookout dessert, but they don’t have to be off-limits if you are trying to eat better. Follow our tips to see how!
Traditional Recipe but Tweaked Ingredients: Swap out a few ingredients for more nutritious versions. Dark chocolate amps up the healthy factor as it contains heart-healthy antioxidants. Combine with reduced fat graham crackers and enjoy!
Healthy S’more Substitutes: Another idea is to use an apple slice base for the crackers, and top with low-fat and/or nondairy cream cheese sweetened with honey as a replacement for marshmallows. For the chocolate, you could use carob chips, chocolate-hazelnut spread or dark cocoa powder.
Nutritious Add-Ins: To make s’mores a healthier option, add berries, pears, peaches, pineapples, figs, raisins or bananas. Fire perfectly caramelizes the fruit, making for a sweet healthy taste. Or sprinkle some chia seeds, coconut flakes or toasted nuts over your s’mores.
Variations on a Theme: Split open a banana; leave it in the peel and slightly smoosh the insides with a fork. Sprinkle with mini marshmallows and dark chocolate, wrap in foil and heat on the campfire or grill.
Top brownie batter hummus with marshmallows and place in a 350° oven for about 15 minutes or until the marshmallows are toasty brown. Sprinkle with graham cracker crumbs and serve.
Use rice cakes as the base, then top with dark chocolate chunks and lowfat marshmallow crème. Air fry for a few moments until melted.
Whichever tip you follow, you can create s’mores that deliver all the gooey goodness with none of the guilt!
