i found a recipe for chicken corn chowder, which only took 20 minutes to make (quick and easy) and we had all the ingredients at home. i just love those recipes when you have all the ingredients! (not that i don't like going to the grocery store. i love grocery stores like Trader Joe's, Fresh Market, Kroger, or even Walmart!), but you see (and i know i've said it before), my small town grocery store really does not have the best produce, is run down, and a bit depressing to go shopping in. i don't want to sound like i'm not thankful for it, because i really am. if we didn't have a grocery store in our town i would have to drive 15 minutes to the next town for groceries instead of 5 minutes. anyways, my point is, this recipe is super easy and super good, so some night when you're in a hurry and don't have time to run to the store, try it out! it won't dissapoint, promise!
