My addiction to lemon is something that did not come until I was older. When I was pregnant with my first, I could not get enough lemon. Now, if given a choice between lemon bars or brownies I would absolutely choose the lemon bars. Zesting a lemon is one of my favorite kitchen tasks because of the wonderful smell. So it is no wonder when I found this recipe on Pinterest and it said baked ricotta with LEMON, chives and garlic I was all over it. Total no brainer. So I have set about my task of zesting and juicing my lemon and operation baked ricotta will be underway and I will let y’all know How it turns out. The recipe came from Recipes from the Kitchn. Back to my lemony happy place now. Ahhhh

Cream cheese corn recipe
Ok y’all! I promised you the recipe for this so flipping amazing and easy you will want to make it for everyone you know including your mailman, cream cheese corn and I am going to keep my promise. So here it goes…it’s really so easy it is almost criminal that it tastes so good. Aren’t those the best recipes?
I am updating this recipe post as it was the first one I ever posted and I felt the need to say more about this family recipe. This is my mom’s recipe and I have no idea of it’s origins, and once you take a bite, you will not either. I have to double this recipe for my family of 6 each time and it is almost where I need to triple it. Everyone comes and scoops some “tastes” out of the pot into a bowl and then we don’t have much left for the actual meal. This is the perfect side dish to a roast or smothered chicken. It is definitely one of our favorites! And I even took a picture for the post today! I’ve come a long way baby (yes that is a cigarette slogan from the 80’s. That was my mama’s brand…ah memories!! lol!!! ) Enjoy!!!
cream cheese corn
