One more day until the weekend! I’m counting the minutes my friends.
This week has been one of those weeks. I’ve packed so much in already, I feel like my brain could burst. I’ve been researching, recipe testing, photographing, tweeting and pinning…and believe you me, that’s one thing too many! So this weekend, I’ll be enjoying some Sauvignon Sunsets, putting my feet up and just plain relaxing!
The one thing I’ll be whipping up for happy hour will be this Cheesy Corn Dip with Green Chiles. It’s one of our favorite summer appetizers. My guests here at the beach always give it the big thumbs up!
I’m warning you, it’s addictive.
Why You’ll Love this Recipe
It’s creamy and cheesy and loaded with white and yellow corn, and green chiles. I use shredded jalapeno jack cheese for added spice, but feel free to use plain Monterey jack if you like. You can make this hot dip with canned corn or fresh from the cob.
This is the perfect time of year to make this dip because fresh corn is abundant and it’s so sweet and delicious.
And who can pass up a cheesy dip??

A Few Cook’s Notes for Cheesy Corn Dip with Green Chiles
You can use either fresh corn cut from the cob or canned corn for this recipe.
I like to use both white and yellow corn, but one or the other will also work fine.
Always shred the cheese yourself instead of using the packaged shredded cheese because it melts more smoothly when you shred it yourself.

I sent this directly to my Ma, Mary Ann… she flips over corn, but add cheese to the mix and she is over the moon! I can imagine this dip after a very full week, on the front porch with a glass of wine. Ahhhhh sounds sooo good, but we’ve a few days now before that! All that tweeting, pinning and facebooking is exhausting (truly) in addition to keeping up with a blog. Wishing you a relaxing and restful weekend. xo
Thanks Traci! I agree! Oh, if I was only 20 years younger!
