Corn and zucchini is a flavor combination that takes me back to my childhood. Served as a side dish or a compliment to Spanish rice, this recipe makes a great Thanksgiving side everyone around the table will welcome with open arms. Make it extra cheesy for the kids with the addition of shredded melting cheese and crema.
