Mexican corn

I haven't written a recipe in a while on here for several reasons. One being teaching was just overwhelming and all my free time was spent grading papers. The second (and most important reason) is we adopted a little baby boy. He is now just over a month old and incredibly precious yet doing a fabulous job of keeping us up at night. That being said I definitely haven't had time to write recipes on here. However, today I threw a side dish together quickly and it turned out amazing so I knew I had to share. I apologize for the lack of picture!!! I usually make a variation of this recipe with corn on the cob but had a bag of frozen corn in the freezer so decided to try this instead.

Mexican Corn (off the cob)
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups Frozen corn kernels
1/2 cup water
2 tsp chili powder
Pinch of salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
2 tbsp butter
1/4 cup fresh grated Parmesan cheese

Combine all ingredients except for the Parmesan cheese in a small sauce pan. Cook on medium high stirring occasionally until all water has evaporated and corn is thoroughly heated.
Remove from heat and add Parmesan cheese stir until conbined.
This is all I did because it was a last minute recipe that I threw together. However next time I will probably add some green chilis or diced red peppers the top it all off with some cilantro and a squeeze of lime.
Enjoy and happy cinco de mayo!!!!
