Smooth and Creamy Crockpot Creamed Corn

cindy — Fri, 18 Nov 2016 11:00:19 +0000

As a kid I was introduced to creamed corn at a friend’s house. I am a corn lover anyway so a new, creamier way to eat corn excited me. Upon returning home I told my mom about my new found favorite side dish. She agreed to get some. A few night’s later my mom served us canned cream corn, much to my father’s disdain. You see, my dad connected creamed corn with his appendicitis. Actually, not creamed corn but corn chowder but he said they were all the same. On the night of his appendicitis attack he had eaten corn chowder. Of course, the food and the medical issue were in no way connected but, in my father’s mind they were. Mom didn’t serve us creamed corn very often because none of us wanted to hear dad re-tell his story.

I do remember the one thing I didn’t like about some creamed corn was that is was mostly pulverized corn, which made the dish mushy. While I was looking for some new corn recipes on Pinterest I was happy to see a lot of recipes using whole kernels not pulverized corn. I created this smooth and creamy crockpot creamed corn recipe based on several similar recipes I found in my search.

I made this recipe to go with pork chops the other night and it was easy to make, it’s a dump recipe. It was smooth and creamy too. If you are looking for an easy updated creamed corn recipe, look no further, you’ve found it.

Elote Mexican Street Corn

cindy — Fri, 08 Jul 2016 10:00:47 +0000

Hi, I’m Cindy and I’m addicted to corn, all kinds of corn. Baked, boiled, grilled or popped if its corn I’ll eat it. I have tried lots and lots of corn toppings, add-ins and salads. Two of my favorites are my Kickin’ Corn and just regular old corn on the cob with butter and salt. Today though we share another variation of Grilled Mexican Corn, my version of Elote or Mexican Street Corn.

Versions of this Mexican Corn is available from street vendors in Mexico. Often times the ends of the cob are cut off and a skewer is pushed through the cob to make this treat easier to eat while walking about. My friend calls this “Nacho Libre” corn because she says they eat this type of corn in the movie. Whatever you call it, I call it delicious!

Some people like to drizzle their corn with fresh lime juice, I’m not a fan. Do you think you and your family will like this version of Mexican Street Corn? I can’t wait to make it again! This summer it has become my go-to side whenver hubby is grilling steaks.

We eat a lot of corn at our house so I love to find new ways to serve it. A few months ago I found a pin for “Delicious Cream Cheese Corn” from BudgetSavvyDive.com and I pinned it to my “Recipes I want to Try” board on Pinterest. I’ve made the recipe a few times an, of course, I have tweaked it a bit to suit our tastes. I realized that I hadn’t shared it with you, so here goes!

Make sure the corn is thawed before you start. Also, be careful with the red pepper flakes, a little goes a long way.
