I usually will make a corn casserole.
1 can of corn - not drained
1 can of creamed corn
1 box Jiffy corn muffin mix
2 eggs - beaten
1 stick butter (or margarine)
4 oz. sour cream
Mix all together including the liquid from the canned corn into a 2 qt casserole dish (I use foil pans if going somewhere so I don't have to worry about getting the dish back).
Bake at 350 for about an hour. If you just toss in the whole stick of butter, you may need to stir a couple of times to distribute that more evenly. You could melt the butter and add that while mixing or just chunk it up and toss in there as well. Bake until top is slightly brown.

Banana pudding I use the recipe on the nilla wafer box.
Or an antipasti, pasta salad with lots of Italian meats, mozzarella cheeses and a Caesar like dressing.
I also make pinwheels using the giant burrito size flour tortillas cream cheese, cavandars all greek seasoning, favorite lunch meat, lettuce tomato, and onions all rolled up and sliced. Yummo!

I am always requested to make my Butter Pecan Cake.
Ssssshhhhh it's a secret - yeah right
1 - Cake Mix - Yellow BUTTER Recipe (I usually use Betty Crocker)
1 - Cup of Water
3 - Eggs
1 - stick of Butter (box says 1/3C but I use it all)
1/8 - 1/4 Cup of Vanilla
1/2 - 1 Cup of Chopped Pecans
Mix according to box directions, adding Vanilla and 3/4 of the Pecans.
Sprinkle remaining pecans on the top of the cake.
Bake according to directions.
Ice with Cream Cheese Icing if desired. I usually do not ice it because I really like the limited sweetness of the cake without icing.
Enjoy!
I started making this cake when we lived in North Carolina and had our own Pecan tree. We are planning a trip after the first of the year to gather more pecans. Luckily we worked a deal with the guy that bought our house so that we can always pick Pecans from our old tree.

I always bring this salad too and add chicken to it. In my quilt group I would probably be voted out if I didn't bring it.
