The Cooking Diva's Ditties

I am so tired of being cold! And, I live in Georgia. I can't imagine how those of you in the North and Midwest are dealing with all of the cold and snow.My husband told me this morning that this was one of the coldest January's on record. China has even been hit with snowstorms.What does all of this have to do with Cooking and Healthy Living? Well, all this cold has me wishing for Summer. And, all the wonderful, fresh veggies that we get to devour.Last night I couldn't stand it anymore. I was craving good old fashioned creamed corn. You know the kind your grandmother makes when she has a ton of fresh corn just picked from the fields. She cuts the corn off the cob and scrapes all that wonderful corn "milk" from the cob and then turns it into the most delicious bowl of sunshine!Well, needless to say I did not have fresh corn, but I figured out a way to get that same great flavor using frozen corn that I always keep in my freezer. And, best of all it only took me about 15 minutes. I hope you enjoy this recipe. I know my family did. And, let's all hope for an early spring!

To Your Health & A Long Life,
