Recipe #2: Corn Casserole
It was my very first time making corn casserole yesterday – and, it was a delicious success! I ate a third of it last night whilst watching the latest episodes of The Vampire Diaries and Castle. Best meal ever. I’m a sucker for vampires, crime dramas and good food.I gave my coworkers a tiny taste of my corn casserole in the morning and, they loved it! So, I’m bringing more tomorrow. Hungry stomachs must be fed and I’d really like the salivating to stop. Haha.
I will most definitely be using this recipe again (soon) – but, please indulge yourselves in corn heaven in your own casserole dish.
Ingredients
2 eggs, beaten
1 (15 ounce) can cream-style corn
1 (8 ounce) container sour cream
1/4 cup butter, melted
1 (15.25 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
1 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 (4 ounce) can diced green chilies, drained
1 (8.5 ounce) package dry corn muffin mix
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 2 quart casserole dish. In a large mixing bowl, combine eggs, cream style corn, sour cream and melted butter. Stir in whole kernel corn, cheese, onion and chilies. Stir in the corn muffin mix until just moistened.
Bake in a preheated 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) oven for 75 minutes; or until an inserted knife comes out clean and the top is golden. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.

It all started with a grilled cheese sandwich.
I ordered a grilled apple and cheese sandwich at Syrup Desserts (located in downtown LA) a couple days ago and that grilled cheese sandwich is the inspiration for this entry.Parking was a pain and expensive (like it always is in downtown LA) – but, standing in line, waiting for a supposed grilled cheese masterpiece was well worth the drive. I devoured the little sandwich within minutes of opening the take-out box in my car.
So, in an attempt to concoct the perfect grilled cheese sandwich – I picked up a few ingredients at the supermarket yesterday. I decided to use slices of American cheese on dark rye bread for lunch. The sandwich was decent, but something was...missing. I probably should have used a different cheese, not American.
Today, I'm experimenting with cheddar cheese and blueberries on dark rye bread - sounds strange, doesn't it? Strange, but hopefully delicious.
In Pursuit of Happiness.
Lately, I don’t have time for much more than work and the occasional meal with co-workers or sipping French-pressed coffee with friends. During the week, I’m perfectly content with a good book, watching TV or perusing the World Wide Web. Fun is restricted to the weekends, unless it's raining - then, I prefer my bed with take-out Indian food.I have the usual routine of getting home, checking my email, spending too much time on Facebook and updating my blog. But, I’ve recently discovered Etsy, a remarkable online marketplace of homemade pieces of art. I will always resort to Amazon for my DVDs and books, but for one-of-a-kind brooches or wall art - Etsy is the place to go for your merchandise.
Most of the people on Etsy also have blogs and today, I stumbled upon a notable blog worth mentioning. It's called Abby Try Again and this 26-year old blogger sells her inimitable photographs for less than anything you'd even find at IKEA (a department store commited to selling the cheapest goods in the history of mankind - seriously).
She writes that she quit her day job to pursue blogging and photography. How daring and exciting is that?! Instead of being tied down to her desk, she’s doing what she loves – blogging and capturing the beauty around her, all through a camera lens. She inspired me to pursue what I love - so, let the pursuing begin!
The act of pursuing would be much easier if I had the leisure of doing so. I’d travel the world and stay in different cities for months at a time, sending postcards to my friends; take pictures with my ridiculously expensive camera (that, I have yet to purchase) and blog about all of it. Of course, this would all be done in the accompaniment of various types of tea and treats made from flour, sugar and chocolate. I wouldn't do it any other way.
Lesson learned: leap to do what you love in the company of sweets.
In Honor of Julia Child.
Julie & Julia night, we called it. And, oh my - was it a fantastic night.Boeuf à la Bourguignonne (Boeuf Bourguignon). Oignons Glacés a Brun (Brown-braised Onions). Champignons Sautés Au Beurre (Sautéed Mushrooms).
These are the three fabulous French dishes my friends and I cooked (from scratch – yes, 100% scratch) over the weekend. The recipes are directly from Julia Child’s cookbook, “Mastering the Art of French Cooking” – and, it’s wonderful.
As of Saturday night – I am officially, a fan of French cuisine.
Thank you, Julia. We love you.
