Cape Cod Corn Pudding


While choosing recipes for this event I searched the Taste of Home site for the vegetables my guys will eat and one of them is corn.   Up popped Melinda M's Cape Cod Corn Pudding.  I'm from New England but have never heard of corn pudding but thought I'd give it a try.


I did make a few changes.  Both of my guys are picky about onion so instead of fresh I used minced dried.  It reconstituted nicely in the melting butter but was still in fairly small pieces. 

The recipe also calls for less cheese. I bought a 2 cup package of Cabot Vermont Sharp Cheddar, used 3/4 of the bag in the pudding itself and then topped it with the remaining 1/4 packages.  I do not have an 11x7, so I baked mine in a 13x9.

  2. I love the addition of the fresh basil and the extra creaminess from the ricotta! It is much richer than my usual corn side dish!

Copycat Dunkin Donuts Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites

I'm a huge fan of the Dunkin Donuts Power Breakfast sandwich, so when I started seeing ads for the new Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites I stopped in and gave them a try.  They were delicious, but of course, I knew I could make them at home. 

Stuffed Waffles

I wasn't sure I was going to blog these stuffed waffles since it was the first time I tried using the new iron but since I'd already taken the pics as I went I figured, why not? They aren't perfect but they are delicious!

Copycat Dunkin Donuts Bacon and Cheddar Omelet Bites

Since I already came up with a version of Dunkin Donuts new Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites for myself, I decided to make the other variety that they are offering, Bacon & Cheddar, for my husband.
