With the 4th of July fast approaching, Food Network's Sunny Anderson showcased some delish side dishes on Good Morning America this morning, including her Easy Baked Beans, Summer Corn Salad and a creamy Potato and Prosciutto Salad. Well, that corn salad will be on the menu this weekend and, possibly, the baked beans.

Moe was always the epitome of chic. She … [Read more...]

The memories I have of creamed corn are not good, I hate to say. 99.9% of the time, it was out of a can and, in my opinion, was horrible. When I started to cook, I made a point to NEVER buy creamed corn and, if we were in some sort of survival mode and [...]
