Corn. So ordinary.
How to dress it up for the holiday? Make it yours. Gotta try Grandma’s Corn Pudding. For years I’ve wanted to help the corn, make it feel a little less naked at Thanksgiving. But it’s always an afterthought. Throw the corn into a pot and cook while we ask a blessing on the feast.
It always seems a little out of place to me. The plain yellow kernels sitting in the bowl, while every other dish was given so much care and preparation. This year I’m dispensing with the bowl and serving corn pudding. It’s a little sweet. A little salty. A smooth bit of cream-corn goodness in a beautiful little circle on your plate. Yes, you can bake and serve it straight from the dish. I opted for cutting into circle shapes, which dressed it up a bit more.
And, you know, we all want the corn to feel dressed at the table.

Maybe they mix the corn with their potatoes because it is so bland. I love this recipe. my son loves it too, and asks me to make it for him even when it's not a holiday. 🙂

I don't know…my kids always mix that naked corn with their potatoes and gravy…there'd probably be a riot if we changed!

I know, some traditions die hard! Personally, I hate it when people mix it all together! love you 🙂
