Corn is one of my favorite “vegetables.” I haven’t eaten much of it recently because Sis isn’t a fan. Originally I had intended to make this dish for Thanksgiving when it was just supposed to be me and my dad. Because we didn’t end up cooking on Thanksgiving I decided I needed to make it for Christmas dinner even though I didn’t think Sis would even try it. As it turned out, she did try it. And she even liked it!
This was my favorite dish of our Christmas day meal. But I love love love love love corn.
