Anything is good, in moderation. I cook because I love to and because I can share with those around me. I crochet for the same reason.

Do what you want to do, enjoy what you do and use it to touch those around you.

Hominy? What's Hominy?

Hominy is a product made by processing corn to remove the hull and germ, leaving the kernel only.  It can be done by cracking and separating or by putting it a lye bath.  I prefer Manning's Homestyle Hominy which is processed via steaming.  The following casserole is a great side dish that can be baked along side a chicken or roast. 

20 ounce Hominy
1.5 cups corn
1 can chopped green chilies
1/2 tbl cornstarch
1/2 tsp pepper
4 ounces sour cream
1/2 tsp Hot Hungarian Paprika
3 ounces shredded Monterey Jack Cheese
3 ounces of sliced American Cheese

Heat oven to 350 degrees.  Grease a 1 quart casserole dish and set aside.

Rinse hominy and drain well.  Combine all ingredients except cheeses and pour into the casserole dish.  Sprinkle with Monterey Jack Cheese and layer with American Cheese Slices.  Cover with non stick foil (non stick side down) and bake for 40 minutes.  Let stand 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
