Corn Chowder

We are so in love with this spicy and cheesy delicious corn chowder recipe.  This was a staple in our homes growing up and is so reminiscent of the many fall seasons where our moms spent most of their time cooking in the kitchen.  Every time we cook and eat this meal, it brings us back to our childhood. 

Amazing how that’s all it takes to make us feel like kids again.  No wonder we fell in love with cooking, and why we love the fall season so much! Make this a staple in your home, it’s easy to make and will get your tastebuds in mood for the holiday season.
