Holiday Corn With Bacon & Fresh Herbs

Around Thanksgiving time last year a group at church put together a little fall cookbook. This was one of the recipes in it and I made it last year for Thanksgiving. It was another big hit. I love it because it's a great way to dress up a simple vegetable and make it extra special for the holidays. Make sure you get a high quality frozen corn as it makes a big difference. Sorry, no picture on this one.
