For a side dish that sticks to your ribs, try Creamed Corn. We lightened this comfort side dish by "creaming" our corn with flour-thickened milk instead of cream.

This is delicious! I'm considering adding this to my Thanksgiving sides. I also served with the pan fried chicken from the Jan. 2014 issue and wilted spinach; great meal.

Delicious!! I did add some cayeene pepper to give a little kick. Served it with the pan-fried chicken thighs which is in the same issue. Will make this again--a great and different way to serve corn.

Great side dish! We served with CL's Savory Pan-Fried Chicken with Hot Sauce (also from Jan/Feb 2014) but I can see myself making this with other dishes as well. Made as is, but may consider adding a touch of cayenne pepper depending on what I'm serving it with.
