It doesn’t matter what form the corn comes in – on the cob, cheesy corn casserole, cream corn, or just plain straight from the can – HE LOVES IT!
Cute story – the very first time Justin cooked for me when we were dating he made me grilled chicken, black beans, and canned corn (because it is one of his favs). And it was so sweet.
