4 Corn Recipes to Make With Your Thanksgiving Leftovers
Thanksgiving is my favourite holiday. Why? Because I'm corn-obsessed. When the fall season comes around and people start not only making corn recipes but also using it as a decoration, it's my favourite time of the year.
Another one of my favourite things about Thanksgiving dinner is that it always means one thing — leftovers. Your extended family all has different food likes and dislikes, so your dinner is filled with a gazillion different dishes. Corn is a must-have on every Thanksgiving table and inevitably leads to corn on the cob leftovers.
This is by no means a bad thing. After all, corn leftovers leave room for more delicious corn-filled dishes in the future. Try out any one of these recipes for a perfect on-the-go lunch, a flavour-filled dinner or a classic comfort meal. Each recipe has three steps or less, so even if you're an embarrassingly bad cook, they're fool-proof!
