{Recipe} Corn and Potato Chowder

“Mmmm! Mom, this is good soup!” “It’s not soup, it’s chowder.” “Eww, I hate chowder…” Hahaha! Sorry, I can’t think of chowder without laughing at my silly brother. And yes, I know he has LOTS of ammo on me when it comes to “stupid things we’ve said” battles. (I hold my ground, that car did…

27 Before 28
