Looking back at the archives reveals that there are simply not enough side dishes featured here. With the holiday season barreling towards us at hyper speeds that I am not prepared for, I am doing my best to spice things up and add a few. When serving a large party, I rely heavily on my slow cooker for everything from appetizers to desserts. At the moment I own… 6… >.> Don’t judge.

Creamed corn is one of those love it or hate it dishes. Sadly, I know a ton of people that hate it. Bully for me, because, I love it. Corn isn’t a go to side for me, as I lump it in with the unnecessary starch carb load category that I tend to avoid if I can, but every once in a while, this sort of side really hits the spot. Pair this with a simple sausage or fish for supper or serve on the side at your next large gathering for an instant hit.
