Our refrigerator has finally been getting a little bare after a whole lot of Holiday cooking and eating. So, last night there were few choices for a side dish to go with a smoked turkey breast for dinner. After searching the pantry for some inspiration, I realized I had all of the ingredients to make a family favorite, Corn Pudding.

It’s got a hint of sweetness but tastes like a gooey cornbread. It always calls out to me to get one more spoonful well after I am full.

This recipe was originally passed down from church ladies when we made a commemortive anniversary cookbook a mere 20 years ago! I use that cookbook weekly and certainly have a handful of recipes memorized from it – it’s full of everyone’s family favorites.

I almost always have sour cream in my refrigerator – but you could substitute plain yogurt in a pinch – it won’t be quite as rich and creamy but it will suffice.
