"Signature Dish," a Great Family Tradition!

Do you have a particular recipe that others really like and that you are repeatedly asked to bring for special family occasions and holiday feasts? Creamed corn has become my "signature dish." It has been a family favorite for Thanksgiving and Christmas and I would like to share it with you!

To make corn mixture, heat the following ingredients in a large sauce pan over the stove. Bring to a boil & simmer for 5 minutes, then remove from the heat.

Corn Mixture Ingredients:

2-1/2 bags of frozen corn (16 ounce size bags)
16 ounces (1 pint) whipping cream
16 ounces (1pint) whole milk
2 teaspoons salt
4 Tablespoons sugar
2 pinches white pepper
2 pinches of cayenne pepper

Thickening Agent:

In separate small sauce pan, mix 4 Tablespoons of melted butter & 4 Tablespoons of flour together. Then add to the corn mixture, as a thickening agent.

Put mixture in a 9x13 casserole dish & dust with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
Broil in the oven until cheese is lightly browned. May take 8-10 minutes, but keep a close watch!

From the time I was a new mom, I have found cooking to be a very special part of motherhood. Since children love to help in the kitchen, cooking is a great way to create fun & special memories. Think of a favorite recipe or ask a family member or friend for a recipe idea that you can make this year. If you have children, they would love to help you prepare this new recipe! Soon, it may be your family's "Signature Dish" and become a great family tradition!
