In the 50s and 60s, I was working 2 jobs, and raising 2 boys. So quickie meals were the norm. Always trying to make do ... with what was in the larder. I devised this recipe so man moons ago, I forgot all about it! My dear sister-in-law reminded me of how she liked it. So here is my simple recipe,for you to enjoy. A can of corn, can of tuna, and a couple taters...easy peasie. The corn cobs add special flavor. Add-ons are always welcome. Nancy..June 29, 2013
