I tried to like this. The sweetness of the corn should have gone really well with the chipotle but somehow it tasted like an odd combination in the end. The very sweet sweetness fof the corn on one hand was a little bizzare right in with the heat of the chipotle on the other hand. I must say that the roasted and blended sweet corn on it's own did taste good... but for my tastes at least, this needed more than just the chipotle to make the flavours gel well together. Please see my rating system: 3 stars for a recipe where personal taste is everything: that might suit many others but that just didn't do it for me. As always I am pleased to have tried it. Thanks!!!

<p>I love cooking and trying different foods, but my favorite cookbooks are now Weight Watchers or low fat/low cal cookbooks as I tend to try and make low fat/low cal recipes. I lost over 90 pounds on Weight Watchers and have maintained for over a year now -- so my cooking/eating habits have changed drastically following my weight loss and to keep it off!</p>
