New England Style Clam Chowdah

January 3, 20191 Comment

Jump right in, the chowder is warm, lol! Not exactly a New Year's Resolution-type recipe featuring copious amounts of detoxifying veggies and no sodium... however, I used light cream instead of half and half and added chopped celery which the original recipe didn't call for.

Winter Minestrone

A friend shared this recipe with me, and I am so glad she did!  It's originally from the Barefoot Contessa, Ina Garten herself, but of course I tweaked it a bit to make it my own.  It feeds a small army and still allows for leftovers.  Next time you're snowed in... give this hearty and satisfying soup a … Continue reading Winter Minestrone
