These Mexican Street Corn Tacos with Cajun Chicken use the best end of summer produce for a spectacular twist on taco night!

These Mexican Street Corn Tacos with Cajun Chicken are the perfect dinner to cure those back to work blues after a long weekend full of fun.

I mean, how perfect was the Labour Day weekend? I ate and ate and ate, then did way too much relaxing. Nothing too crazy or out there, but sometimes after a hectic few weekends it's nice to just chill.

Honestly, I'm like an old person nowadays. I rotate going out each weekend because I can't handle staying up late anymore. I guess it's not so much not being able to handle it as I love having the whole day each weekend to do something fun, get up to a new adventure. What every long weekend should be, right?

But let's talk some more about the DELICIOUS food available at the end of summer. Right now I'm all about harvest eats. I'm consuming zucchini, peaches, corn and tomatoes like mad (have you seen this Southwest Steak Salad with grilled romaine yet?!), and I can't get enough of all the local produce. And don't even get me started on my mom or her giant blueberry baskets for homemade jam!

But, since we're also coming off a long weekend, I'm loving super easy recipes like this Roasted Red Pepper Slow Cooker Chicken Cacciatore or this Butternut Squash Dal with Red Lentils. Slow cookers are my jam these days, especially as we head into fall and winter.

When I shared my Homemade Fudgesicles recipe, I mentioned that September always feels like an ushering in of new beginnings – back to school, the beginning of a new season…

Have I mentioned that I'm like every other stereotypical white girl out there? Fall is my FAVOURITE season of all time. It might just be because of all the delicious food and drink about to come, but there's something breathtaking about the crisp fall air and the first hints of smokey winter popping in.

And speaking of that magical fall feeling, I've gotta mention that I've got something in the works that is SUPER exciting and I can't wait to share it all with you. Be on the lookout for a crazy exciting Friendsgiving giveaway with Vitamix and a few of my other favourite Canadian food bloggers soon!

But, before we start celebrating too much and getting our fill of Pumpkin Spice Lattes, I want to take a few more moments to really savour summer as much as we still can. So gimme ALL the Mexican Street corn.

All you're missing now are these Pineapple Margaritas!
