My Thoughts On Old-Time Corn Casserole:

Many corn casserole recipes you will find today incorporate Jiffy corn mix into the recipe. This recipe is an older one using cracker crumbs. While I do like Jiffy very much, I enjoy the texture of this older cracker ingredient recipe. Another feature is celery. No matter your favorite corn casserole recipe, I believe you will enjoy this Old-Time Corn Casserole recipe.

Questions For You:

Do you consider a corn casserole a main dish? When is your favorite time to cook corn casserole? Did you see my last casserole recipe? If you didn't, it is called Tater Tot Casserole and since I am sharing another delicious casserole recipe this one will complement well.

More Information For You:

There is a great article by Tasting Table at Yahoo called "Is There A Difference Between Corn Pudding And Corn Casserole?" I think you will find it interesting. Corn casserole recipes started showing up in the 1950s and are most likely a variation of corn pudding.

My Thoughts For The Day:

This will make your casserole pop!

Here's my secret ingredient! Tony Chachere's Creole seasoning tastes great and I love to cook with it. I always keep some of this seasoning on hand and use it a lot. I would recommend adding 1/2 teaspoon of this seasoning to the Old-Time Corn Casserole recipe to give it a special taste. If you try this I would like to hear from you.

Keep on cooking!

My Thoughts On Tater Tot Casserole:

This is one of the easiest recipes to put together. There are not that many ingredients and it is very easy to put it all together and put it in the oven. If you don't like peas you can replace peas with your favorite vegetable. As a kid, I always enjoyed tater tots and still do from time to time. To me, what makes this recipe so good is the mixture of the cream of mushroom soup and the cream of chicken soup along with the hamburger. It provides and great tasting sauce for the hamburger and potato mix.

My Thoughts For The Day:

Peacock Dickerson Park Zoo - Springfield, Mo.

This past weekend we took a trip to the local zoo to celebrate my oldest granddaughter's birthday. It was fun to see her enjoy seeing the animals. It was a sunny warm day and there were lots of people there enjoying the zoo. My granddaughter turned four years old and I would think this trip will be a memory for her for the rest of her life. It is interesting how events in life we experience can stay with us throughout our lives. I remember being four years old and getting to go to the zoo. I can't remember the whole day but I definitely remember the zoo and some things about being at the zoo.

I saw a male peacock at the zoo perched on a fence and decided to get a quick picture before he jumped down. Later I saw him raising and shaking his feathers for a female peacock. The female did seem impressed. It was very fun to witness and it was a great day.

Thanks for reading my thoughts on the day. I hope you enjoy the tater tot casserole recipe and remember to stay positive and keep on cooking!
