  • “This was delicious and looked very pretty on the plate!I was searching for something to use up some ingredients I had lying around and never dreamed I would find one that contained all of them (namely zucchini, a small amount of cream, a can of creamed corn, and some bacon).This may sound like an unusual combination, but the taste is excellent and unique.Think of this as Fettucine Alfredo went to the Farm Stand.Refreshingly different and not heavy, despite the cream.Note: I drained most of the bacon fat before adding the mushrooms and corn.”

  • “This was very easy. I used broccoli and a little frozen chopped spinach as the vegetables to suit the tastes of my children. I precooked the broccoli in a little bacon fat so it would be tender enough. My children 2 and 4 ate it which is always an accomplishment. The creamed corn as the base was a little sweet for my tastes but it has definate merits for kid friendliness.”
