I made an awesome corn chowder the other day, and it was a hit! I made a huge pot, and it was gone before 24 hours were up. My sister in law shared her recipe with me, and I'm sure she wouldn't mind me sharing it with you all. It's a great soup to make with the chillier days among us.
2 tbsp butter
olive oil
1 onion, diced
2 garlic cloves (I use garlice powder)
6 sprigs fresh thyme (I use thyme powder)
1/4 c. flour
6 cups canned vegetable stock
2 cups cream
2 potatoes, peeled and diced
6 ears corn (I used 2 cans of corn)
s and p
1/4 c. chopped fresh parsley leaves
olive oil
1 onion, diced
2 garlic cloves (I use garlice powder)
6 sprigs fresh thyme (I use thyme powder)
1/4 c. flour
6 cups canned vegetable stock
2 cups cream
2 potatoes, peeled and diced
6 ears corn (I used 2 cans of corn)
s and p
1/4 c. chopped fresh parsley leaves
Heat the butter and 1 tbsp olive oil in a soup pot over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic and thyme and cook until the vegetables are good and soft, 8 to 10 minutes. Dust the vegetables with flour and stir to coat everything well. Pour in the vegetable stock and bring to a boil. Add the cream and the potatoes, bring to a boil and boil hard for about 7 minutes, until the potatoes break down. Cut the corn kernels off the cob and add to the soup. Season with salt and pepper and simmer until the corn is soft, about 10-12 minutes. Stir in the parsley and give it another little drink of olive oil. Ladle the soup into bowls and serve.
mmmmm.
I also posted an afghan pattern on the Red Velvet blog yesterday, if you're interested.
(see how Simon's foot made the photo..lol)
I'm only a small portion complete, but I'll be posting my progress on wednesdays on the RVA Blog. :)
Wonderful things to note about today:
-the sun is finally shining!
-I woke up to a shining clean house! (thanks Mom!!)
-I had my maternal physical today and got to hear the baby's heart beating. He/she kicked the monitor a bunch of times too, making me giggle. Hearing those sounds remind me that there is something living inside me, and why this is all worth it.
-belated Thanksgiving dinner with the best of friends. :)
-relaxing with tea and New Moon.
-starting new knitting projects
it's nice to think about the wonderful things.
XO holly
Ps: my mom e-mailed me this video today, it's pretty cool. :) How fun would it be to be in that crowd?!

I had a bunch of cravings in the first trimester too, now I'm just happy that I can eat without feeling sick! That corn chowder looks deeeelish though, might have to try it sometime (when hubs is away, his mortal enemy is corn apparently...)
So glad you got the hear the heartbeat, it's all so wonderful/weird!

And I never craved healthy things when I was pregnant.
I loved little donuts and cupcakes.

yes this time around my cravings are a bit healthier... (I forgot yogurt too!)
but I do get the occasional craving for pizza, or mcdonalds. lol
Seems this time around my tummy is more sensitive, so junk food makes me nauseous. Which is great I guess!
