Parmesean Chicken / Fried Corn and Lemon Loaf

I have been in the kitchen all day cooking up a storm.

  I get in moods where I cook just enough to get by and then there are time I never leave the kitchen.  
Well can you guess what mood I am in lately?

So, for Dinner this evening we had:

Parmesan Chicken Tenders
Fried Corn - recipe is below - So delish
Mashed Potatoes
Butter Beans 
my secret for the best Butter Beans - 
I use a spice named "Green Tea Peppercorns" by
Tastefully Simple
and I purchase it from
Beverly Pedigo at:

They have the best spices I have ever used and check out there other products (I am not being paid to post this)


Fried Corn

4 tablespoons butter
1 can corn, drained
1 tablespoon sugar
1/4 cup heavy cream
Salt
Black Pepper

In a large skillet over medium high heat, melt the butter, when the butter is foamy add the corn stirring to coat.  Cook stirring constantly for 1 minute.  Add the sugar and cook for an additional 2 minutes.  Increase heat and add heavy cream - continue to stir so corn won't stick.  Add salt and pepper.  Cook until most of the cream has absorbed, about 3 - 5 minutes.  Serve hot!!!!!!
