I’m a spoiled Nebraska girl. I only eat corn when it is fresh off the stalk. In fact, I can hardly eat it a day or so after it’s picked. FRESH. That’s how I like sweet corn — until now.
You see, I recently ate at a new restaurant in Des Moines, Iowa. It is wonderful. Jethro’s. If you get a chance, eat there. They have Jalapeno Cream Corn.
I took a chance.
I fell in love.
Then I came home and made my own version. But now I see there are similar recipes all over the ‘net. Oh, well! If you know me, get ready. I’m going to be making this for many of our upcoming potlucks and family get togethers. YUMMY!!
