I’ll be the first one to admit that living and working on a farm where we raise veggies and herbs definitely has its benefits. Like many of you, I love to cook with fresh ingredients whenever possible, so on our farm, this is a perfect recipe for late summer or early fall.

I found this recipe a few years ago and it quickly became a family favorite. For those of you who are nervous to try this recipe, trust me, this recipe can be as tame as you want it to be.

The creamy texture can cut out much of the heat, but the jalapenos add amazing flavor! For my fire-breathers, you can keep the seeds in or add more jalapenos to taste.

As fall is quickly approaching, I thought this recipe would be great to share because it is also a great change-of-pace to the traditional creamed corn side dish served over the Thanksgiving holiday.

Bon appétit!
