Recipe: Vegan Lime Corn

Corn is a favorite in our house. My youngest loves to shove fistfuls of it in his mouth. Although corn on its own is yummy, it’s fun to dress it up from time to time. Vegan Lime Corn is a great way to jazz up a great staple. This recipe is very mild, but if you like things spicy add some extra chili powder. If you don’t like cilantro, leave it out.
