Fried Panko Pork and Grilled Corn & Blueberry Salsa

That's right folks- grilled corn and blueberry salsa.

I've been inspired this past week, whipping up delicious goodies earning the title of "Best Dish of the Year" in my household from the attendees (my sister and boyfriend).

Grilled corn and blueberry salsa is a dish inspired by a recipe my friend sent over to me including peaches and grilled corn. I immediately thought to myself, "If peaches work, why can't blueberries?" So, I got cooking...
