Aunt Margie's Corn Casserole

Meghan and I were just talking about corn casserole (yes, we are weird) and we remembered this one from Margie. I found it in my email just in time for Thanksgiving!

Here is the recipe:

2 cans of corn
1 can of cream corn
1 stick of butter(melted)
1 cup of sour cream
1 package Jiffy corn muffin mix
cheddar cheese

Stir together and spread into 9x11 greased pan.
Bake at 350 for 40 -50 minutes uncovered, till lightly browned.
Sprinkle top with cheddar cheese and bake for 10 more minutes.
Serve hot!
YUMMY!!!!!
I would say we could drop the butter to 1/4 stick easily.

Garlicky Broiled Salmon with Tomatoes

This recipe is beyond easy -- 10 minutes to assemble and 10 minutes to cook! I served dilled orzo on the side.

4 six-ounce pieces skinless salmon fillet
4 medium tomatoes, cut in half
1/2 teaspoon paprika
2 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt and pepper
8 sprigs fresh thyme or a good shake of dried thyme
4 cloves garlic, sliced

Heat broiler. Place the salmon and tomatoes, cut-side up, in a broilerproof roasting pan or on a rimmed baking sheet. Sprinkle the salmon with the paprika.

Drizzle the salmon and tomatoes with the oil and season with 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Scatter the thyme and garlic over the top.

Broil until the salmon is opaque throughout and the tomatoes are tender, 8 to 10 minutes.
