And with Thanksgiving just around the corner, how about a nice recipe? This is something I will be trying this year at our own table.

Cheesy Corn Spoon Bread: Homey and comforting, this custard-like side dish is a much-requested recipe at potlucks and holiday dinners. The jalapeno pepper adds just the right bite. Second helpings of this tasty casserole are common—leftovers aren't. —Katherine Franklin, Carbondale, Illinois
