Lane and I are so happy that the heat seems to be breaking here at Kelly’s RV park in White Springs Florida. This summer has been especially brutal, the temps have been in the mid to upper 90’s for the last 3 months straight. Combine that with unbelievably high humidity and cooking complicated meals has been the last thing on our minds. Now with daytime temps in the 80’s and lows in the 60’s our thoughts are once again turning to the preparation of our favorite comfort foods. This one fit’s the bill… Enjoy!
This is a delicious easy corn chowder recipe. I like to serve it with warmed french bread and a simple green salad.
