"A light wind swept over the corn, and all nature laughed in the sunshine."
-Anne Bronte, Author
My mom served Succotash when I was a kid, but it was frozen. I like it still, but this is a great riff on the corn and lima combo. This Southwest Succotash is not too spicy and if you want to zip it up, add a bit of cayenne pepper.
