Hey folks, I’m back from the wild wiLD, WILD WEST but more on that later when I can really talk about it. I’m really happy to be home, having been really out of touch, connectivity and all my usual routine. I missed my family mad amounts even though I had one son traveling with me.
Returning to fathers day, my moms 80th birthday and our wedding anniversary all on this day means I have a lot of love-giving to catchup on. I just wanted to share this Corn Chowder recipe which was made to sustain us on a very long and chilly boat trip overnight. Take 4 ears of corn and cut off the kernels: puree half the kernels, keep half whole. Boil the skinned cobs for a while to make a light corn broth. Meanwhile saute chopped onion, minced garlic, chopped bacon (natch), chopped jalapeno and sweet red peppers until softened. Add a cubed potato or two, the corn kernels, the pureed corn and the corn broth. Cook for about 30 minutes and add 1 cup of grated Monterrey jack cheese–stir until melted. Lastly stir in some cream of half and half. Salt and pepper to taste. I could not stop eating this soup!
Btw, I’m glad to be reconnected to everyone and daily posts will resume henceforth.

Lucinda’s favorite way to eat Thanksgiving dinner is the next day, layered into a pie. Her rule for the feast, and how to build the one the kids called Danksgiving Pie. -
Rustic home cook, practical cook, chef. Lucinda on her three sons, the cooks she hired over the years, and why you only need one superpower in the kitchen. -
The salad dressing Lucinda’s mother Rose made every night got two million views on TikTok. A lettuce recall, a pair of measuring spoons, and a damn good dressing. Recipe included. -
Our prior dog had passed. We weren’t sure we wanted another. Then a cinnamon-colored puppy named Lychee was the last one left at the Cape Ann Animal Shelter. -
Every tool we make has to do more than one job. Lucinda on where that rule came from, the Super Spoon, and a 100-year-old potato masher called a Beetle.

I'm glad the trip went well Lucinda. Congratulations on your wedding anniversary. I made the easy chocolate cake from your book for a bake sale and it sold within minutes, now I will need to make one so that I can try it.

Recipe sounds delicious. I've been introduced to you and your new book via the Make Time for Change website. I love the recipes for kids on the site. Going to have to check out your book as I have two boys to feed and need ideas.

P: I love that recipe and it was the first cake I made as a little girl. But I'm more excited that you actually baked for the bake sale. Too many times I see store bought at the bake sales (oxymoron!)!BBB: I am so glad to here that you are checking out Make Time For Change. That meant a lot to me to team up with Jen, Save The Children and Frigidaire to teach about healthy snacks!Best, LSQ

I can't wait to try the corn chowder. We will have fresh corn here in about four weeks!
