  1. A great twist on a corn chowder, and vegetarian too. Love the addition of smoked paprika and red pepper flakes. Thank you.
     
  2. Yum! This a great corn chowder recipe, but I did a few things differently. I didn't just pare the onion and instead I chopped it all up. Also, I didn't use olive oil, just a bit of nonstick spray. I also swapped regular 1/2 and 1/2 for a decent brand fat-free 1/2 and 1/2 to cut the fat.
     
  3. This was a nice switch-up from our usual corn chowder. I added in some cooked diced red skinned potatoes. I held back half of the liquid smoke, and added some of it at the end to taste. Be careful, not all liquid smokes are good, at least one of the cheaper brands is pretty harsh tasting.

When I was little, I wanted to grow up to be a chef. I grew up to be a doctor instead, but I still love to cook and eat! I especially love recipes that make use of fresh vegetables. <img src="http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Iwasadopted.jpg">
