When corn became a 0 Point food on Weight Watchers Freestyle, I was e-l-a-t-e-d. I love corn any way I can get it. In soup, salads, fritters, pudding, you name it. So, I thought I’d share some great ways of using corn in recipes. Don’t get me wrong – I love corn on the cob and corn as a side dish. But why stop there, especially with Thanksgiving coming up, if you want some new corn inspiration, below are some amazingly delicious recipes using corn on Weight Watchers Freestyle.
