Total Time: 35 mins
Hands-on Time: 20 mins
Makes: 4 to 6 servings

Ingredients:

1 tablespoon Frontier Organic Ground Cayenne Chili Pepper 1.70 oz.
1/4 teaspoon Frontier Coarse Sea Salt 5 lb.
pinch Frontier Ground Cayenne Chili Pepper 1.76 oz.
4 ears sweet corn, husks removed and cleaned
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 tablespoons sour cream
2 cups cooked quinoa
1 1/2 cups black beans, drained and rinsed (if using canned)
1 cup sliced cherry tomatoes
1/2 cup feta or cotija cheese
1/3 cup fresh cilantro, minced
Lime juice, for serving

Directions:

Heat grill or grill pan. Cut sweet corn in half and place in a bowl.
In a separate bowl, stir together the mayo, sour cream, chili powder, salt and cayenne. Spoon into the bowl of corn and stir/toss until the corn is well coated with mixture.
Transfer corn to the heated grill. Cook, turning occasionally until the corn is lightly charred on all sides (about 8 to 10 minutes). Remove from the grill and let cool.
Place the cooked quinoa, black beans, tomatoes, cheese and cilantro in a bowl. Carefully remove the kernels from the cooled ear of corn by placing one end on the cutting board and slicing down between the kernels and the cob.
Place the corn in the bowl and toss until everything is well combined. Squeeze fresh lime juice and dash with salt before serving.

The corn can be grilled 24 hours ahead of time.

Make Plump, Juicy Homemade Raisins by Baking Whole Grapes in Your Oven

These oven-made raisins aren’t the same as the shriveled up (but still tasty) kind you buy from the store. No, these are more flavorful, juicier, and plumper, and you have control over just how juicy and plump you want them to be. You might even say that they’re…raisin the bar.

The oven is ideal for creating truly great-tasting raisins that retain their grape flavor because, according to Serious Eats, even at the lowest setting, an oven is hotter than a fruit dehydrator. That way you can control how much you dry them. You can use any variety of grapes, lay them out on a rimmed baking sheet, and pop them in your oven at the lowest setting (around 225 degrees Fahrenheit, but can go as high as 300 degrees if you want to dry them faster).

If you bake them at 225 degrees, you can get a fine product after three to four and a half hours. The result is juicy lumps bursting with grape flavor that you can add to oatmeal, salads, cookies, rice pudding, muffins, or any other recipe you desire.
