The theme for IHCC this week is the monthly Potluck. The club will be having a Potluck once a month where you can prepare any dish to “share.” I love potluck dinners. It’s so much fun to see and enjoy other people’s creations. Plus, you generally end up with some new ideas or recipes. I chose to make Nigella’s Sweet Corn Pudding. I’m a big fan of corn pudding (or spoonbread as it’s sometimes called) and have posted a favorite recipe I’ve made here. I saw Nigella’s version and thought it would be a perfect dish to bring to a potluck. The texture was almost soufflé-like….very light and sort of airy. I added just a bit of cheddar cheese, which wasn’t part of her original recipe. I thought it was really good. My husband? Not so much so. He thought it tasted too “eggy” and didn’t care for the texture. Sigh. I guess not every recipe is a winner. While I enjoyed it, it’ll probably be a while before I make it again. I ended up having to eat the majority of it myself as leftovers (which weren’t bad).

That looks gorgeous Shelly ! I’ve never seen anything like it… the souffle texture sounds great to me!
Sometimes I cook up stuff my hubs is not thrilled about but i happen to love…so i then try really really hard to convince him on why he should like it too : ) …
Sounds great! Actually, in this house it would be hubby eating the lion’s share of it. I have yet to make a corn pudding.. or even a souffle, but eggs and cheese are hubs’ fave foods.
This will pair up nicely with Kim’s ribs!
Nigella makes some great combos….this would be a keeper for us. Looking good Shelly.
As a veteran of my fair share of church potlucks (and those ladies will judge like you have never been judged), this would hold it’s own any day. A great item to bring to the table… nicely done
I would happily help you eat it–it looks wonderful! Thanks for bringing it to the potluck!
I love a good pot luck! As in – a REAL pot luck, not one of the kind where people organize it beforehand! This pudding looks really good!
I would love to help you eat it up too
I made a corn pudding for My Girl Paula and my hubby didn’t exactly love it either. Maybe it reminds them of quiche or something?? It looks delicious and adding cheese is always a welcome thing to me 
I could probably polish that entire thing off, all by myself. I love corn pudding.
My aunt (who has passed on nearly 25 years ago) made a similar corn pudding. I’ll have to dig out that recipe and compare. This looks fabulous.
Hmmm, that does sound good. I’ve been trying a lot more made from scratch stuff lately…I think my husband is glad I have to work during the week, otherwise he’d put on a bunch of weight eating the foods I’ve been making on the weekends.
Wow, that would suit my family perfectly! My husband loves cornbread but me not so much, this however would be perfect for us both!
Yum, I’ve made this one before. I make it at Easter along with the ham…the saltiness compliments it well. Looks delish…too bad the hubs didn’t agree
Ciao !! This sounds so good !! Bellissimo !
