The CookingBites Recipe Challenge: Corn

[TastyReuben]

I'd like to see it used in multiple ways, and I love basil. Need some good ideas of how to use what's in my garden!

Oh, there's a lot you can do with basil. I know of at least one cocktail that uses basil..:

Oh I know, I know, and I was thinking the same thing. Eating it, drinking libations with it, bring it on!

I'm looking forward to this

BTW, the corn grits I ordered just prior to the beginning of July... arrived Friday, July 17th. I'll make something with them - after all, they are here - and I will try to do my grandmother due respect for her cheesy grits casserole. Not (obviously) for this finished challenge, but because frankly, that's the one dish of hers I remember the most. She overcooked veggies and meats, and even then I wasn't really a fan of sweets - though she did well in that department. I would love to try to re-create her casserole however!

You should post it when you recreate it.

Finally made it this past weekend.

Cheesy Grits Casserole

I make a roasted corn, cheese grit soufflé. It is made with yellow corn grits - slow cook, cheese, eggs, roasted corn, cream chicken stock WIth or without Jalapenos. It is baked and puff up like a soufflé. Rich and delicious. My DIL hates grits but will eat this.

Sounds lovely.

And there are some grits recipes I saw that are made with eggs as well as otherwise kind of following the recipe I posted above. I'm tempted to try something like that - or your recipe - next time. I do have a lot of the grits left here...
