Low Calorie Creamed Corn
This Low Calorie Creamed Corn is just 64 calories! Each serving is about 1/2 cup and that's a big serving!Some people like sweetened creamed corn, and some don't. Not to mention depending on the corn you get, it is often very sweet on its own. So I made the sugar optional.Special Tip: Adding 2 teaspoons only raises the calories per serving up to 67 calories. So feel free to add it in!
