This has been a whirlwind of a weekend.  The best part though was going to the AZ Online BlogCon meet up.  It was my second time meeting other bloggers and it was so much nicer than the first go round.  We had a really fun group of girls.  We had so much fun in fact that were planning to get together every few months.  Yay!

If you remember, Friday when I shared Chicken Cordon Bleu I promised you all the recipe for the best side dish EVER.  So here it is.  You've never had creamed corn like this.  Get that runny store bought stuff from a can out of your head.  This is totally different and you will most likely want to eat it all yourself and not even tell your family you made this corn so there's more for you.  Just sayin'.
