    This easy and delicious 5 minute corn was a big hit in my house.  I am usually giving my main dish the TLC it deserves.  My side dishes are always so blah because who has time to spend on them?  That's when I decided that sticking with frozen veggies was the way to go.  Especially being a mother of 2 and one on the way.  I don't have much extra time to spend on my side dishes, unless it's a holiday of course. 

    That is why I am a big fan of Birds Eye Steamfresh veggies.  This side dish is from the Super Sweet Corn flavor.  Birds Eye will redefine the role of frozen vegetables in modern meals with always fresh tasting and little-to-no-prep solutions so people can always make something good and give more time for love with less effort!  Also, frozen veggie prevent having to throw out spoiled veggies.

    Birds Eye strives to make veggies interesting with versatility and variety, with produce that is always fresh tasting and in season.

    How to make this easy 5-minute corn

    Of course I incorporated my daughter, Taylor into the mix.  She helped me dump all the extra ingredients into the microwave safe bowl.  I heated up my Birdseye Steamfresh corn in the microwave and mixed it in with some other tasty ingredients. 

    In a separate microwave safe bowl Taylor added 1 garlic clove, minced, 1 tbsp fresh basil, minced, 1 tbsp unsalted butter, 1 tsp kosher salt, 1 tsp of fresh lime juice, and a sprinkle of some grated parmesan.  Microwaved those for 1 minute.  Then, added them to the Birdseye Steamfresh corn and voila!  My husband, Eric, literally said, "I only want to eat my corn like this from now on."
