Family Favorites...Celery and Corn Sauté

I can’t help it – I live in “corn country”.  So here’s one more corn recipe – this one from "The Ultimate Southern Living Cookbook".  You’ll notice the recipe name starts with celery – and that’s one way to lower the calories in a corn recipe – besides adding that crisp crunch.  This recipe is so pretty, it’s perfect for company.  I made it in my favorite Griswold cast iron frying pan in about 5 minutes.
