I have southern blood running through these veins and one of my favorite dinners that my southern Grandmother made was her fried chicken, black eye peas, creamed corn, fresh biscuits and gravy. Oh and I can’t forget the sweet tea. She would make a huge supper(lunch) when we came to visit and this was my favorite meal she always made.
Unfortunately, I don’t have the exact recipe how she made it. I am sure she just threw it together and never measured.
In case you did not know, I am called the gadget queen in my home, I love a good handy gadget. This corn peeler is one fun gadget. Not only does he smile at you, but he works really well.
The great thing about this one, it does get down to the cob and remove all the pulp good parts!

Oh, and does that gadget work better than a knife? I like gadgets, but very little space for them so it has to be pretty magical to get drawer space.
Karen, I thought it was easier than a knife, and I have chopped off a lot of corn from the cob over the years!
I can’t wait or corn either, so I can use this recipe! Yum!
