Fresh Corn Casserole This isn’t technically corn pudding, as it doesn’t use any eggs, but that’s what folks ’round these parts sometimes call it. It’s getting to be that time of year when corn is in abundance, and neighbors bring by ears of corn like it’s going out of style. And I absolutely love this method of preparing the stuff; you basically slice off the kernels with a sharp knife, then—and this is key—scrape out all the creamy, milky goodness that resides inside the cob. Add a little cream, butter, salt, and pepper, bake in the oven, and you have a crunchy, fresh summer side dish that’s always, always a crowd pleaser. It’s nothing short of heavenly. The Cast of Characters: Roastin’ ears of corn (corn that’s still in the husk), heavy cream, butter, salt, and pepper. Start by removing the corn from the husks. Then run your hands around the cobs to remove most of the silks (strands). I used about eight ears of corn for this recipe, but you can do as few or as many as you want. Just keep going… Prep Time:

50 Things You Should Stop Buying & Start Making As a society, we have become over-reliant on “ready made” products. We have lost the ability to make things from scratch. Rather than blend up some peanuts to make delicious, tasty and fresh peanut butter, we’ll spend many dollars on a jar from the store that contains artificial preservatives, unnecessary packaging and that simply lines the pockets of huge, unethical multinational corporations. Aside from foods, you can also make your own personal care products, beauty and make up products, cleaning products and home accessories that taste, work or look better than store bought, without the harmful chemicals and toxins and free from excessive, earth damaging packaging.
