I was inspired to enter this contest because I wanted to recreate a recipe using fresh local foods that were on my family’s farm especially using IA sweet corn & pork, precisely bacon. My family lived in Beaverdale on 2 big lots with a huge garden. Every year at harvesting time there would be bushels of corn, beans, cucumbers, onions, peppers, tomatoes, potatoes, grapes & apples & smaller quantities of other fruits, veggies & herbs. I can remember my Dad planting, tending, & harvesting the garden, while my Mom was canning. My Harvest Farm Skillet recipe is a tribute to my ancestors at that busy harvest time. I envisioned my Mom & Grandma thinking ahead for their day so that bacon would be leftover from breakfast, creamed corn would be left over from dinner, & her afternoon was free for canning. While the canning was cooling she would fry potatoes in her cast iron skillet top it off with warmed creamed corn, crumbled bacon, tomatoes, basil, salt & pepper & supper was served.
