Food Friday! Corn Pudding

The weather this week has been absolutely gorgeous! Because of this, Chris and I have been spending a lot of time outside, enjoying the last bits of nice weather before it inevitably gets too cold to be enjoyable. So, Chris has been manning the grill for a lot of the week as we enjoyed the beautiful weather!

Let me tell you though- that grill is beyond me. I'm lucky if I can turn the gas on without the whole thing exploding. So, I haven't been doing a lot of cooking this week, and what I have been cooking has been indoor, and fairly easy, so I was wondering what I was going to put up today! We're having people over tonight, but one of our guests wanted to cook, so she is bringing a casserole, and another guest wanted to bring the dessert, so I still wasn't sure what I was going to put up! I decided to fix a side though to go with the casserole because I really hate having people over and not having something to feed them (you can ask anyone who comes to visit me- I'll feed you till you pop!).

So, with all that being said- here is the corn pudding recipe that I'll be serving tonight!

Ingredients:
  • 1 package fresh or frozen corn
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch

Directions:
  1. In a small bowl or pan, heat the butter until it is melted.
  2. In a medium bowl, beat the eggs, and then add the rest of the ingredients. Mix together, and then salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Pour mixture into a greased pan and bake at 350 degrees until golden brown.
Like last week's, this week's recipe is pretty quick and easy, which is wonderful when I don't get home until 5:00 and dinner is at 6:00! I've had this several times before, and am excited to serve it again tonight because it's just delicious! A note of caution- I know a lot of people who always add a little bit of extra sugar when they're cooking something that calls for sugar, and I often do that myself. However, because the corn already adds a sweetness, adding more sugar can make the dish too sweet, and a little overwhelming.
