“Speedy Starters & Sides” Recipe ReDux Challenge ~Sponsored by: Libby’s Fruits & Vegetables

Unexpected guests feel welcome at my house. I always offer them a snack made from staples I keep on hand.
Corn is something I always stock up on. Its quick for soups, sides and in this case, appetizers.
Corn pie is a regional favorite. Around here, everyone seems to have their own version. Hard boiled eggs, no eggs, carrots and celery, milk, no milk, the list goes on.
The one ingredient we all agree on is corn!
I discovered that Libby’s Vegetable Pouches are a great time saver. These easy to open microwavable pouches cook in less than a minute. No fumbling with a can opener and dealing with sharp edges. If you ever struggled with the ninja packaging some companies choose to house their product you understand.
I love the fact that these pouches are environmentally friendly too. It takes 75 percent less energy to produce these BPA non-intent material lined pouches. The sleek design takes up less space in my cupboard and the empty pouches fold flat. The flattened pouches aren’t bulky and easy to dispose.
Appetizers don’t need to be elegant. Serving comfort food relaxes your guests. You may love to cook like a gourmet, but if your guest don’t recognize what’s in there they probably won’t eat it.
Start to finish, this dish took less than 10 minutes!
These pouches fit easily into the microwave.
