Butter-Poached Corn with Egg Noodles

Corn and pasta is not a combination I have had before and summer is a great time to try it. Corn is still in full swing and the ears I bought were sweet. I bought egg wide noodles but Dorie’s photo looks like fettuccini. I served my dish with a dollop of sour cream, my…

Whip-It-Up-Quick Cornbread

Double-Corn Tea Cake

When this corn cake came out of the oven my husband asked if he could have some, I often bake and release so he wanted to make sure. I said yes as I figured a picture of a cake sliced open would be better than a loaf. Three slices later, I now felt like I…

French Fridays – Corn Pancakes

Around My French Table by Dorie Greenspan My husband made these corn pancakes back in January. I am not sure why I never posted them. My notes say “good something different, Jacob didn’t like.” Why is it always my kid that does not like the new dish? Corn Pancakes page 337.
