Supergrrl Sunday: PSL early and my Chowder Recipe

Who doesn’t love Scrapbooking and Starbucks?  2 things that go GREAT together!  😉

This week, I was able to open up my Starbucks App on my iPhone and create a “Pass” to get the Pumpkin Spice Latte early – pre release!  Woohoo!  If you don’t think I jumped out of bed like a bolt of lightning!  lol  I even splurged on a delicious Pumpkin Scone!  Yum!  While Summer is definitely my favorite of the Seasons I have to say I’m a junkie for the first part of fall when everything turns Pumpkin Spice…but then again, what girl isn’t?  😉  …Even Ju-Ju the Pumpkin Spice Kitty was excited.

Another thing that happened this week is that the weather turned suddenly too cold for my liking so I made homemade Cheesy Corn Chowder.  YUM!  My girls and I just can’t seem to get enough of it!  I think I’ve shared my recipe in the past but here it is again…

Cheesy Clam Chowder

In a soup pot over Medium heat add…

2 cups Water
3 cans Minced Clams (with juice)
2 Chicken Bouillon Cubes
4 cups peeled & diced Russet Potatoes (I usually use 3 med-large sized)
4 cups peeled & diced Carrots (I usually use about 6 good sized carrots)
3 cups Sweet Onion (I usually use 1 large sweet onion)
2 Tbsp. Parsely

Cook until the Carrots and Potatoes are soft.  Then add in…

2 cans Cream of Chicken Soup
4 cups Milk
2 tsp. Seasoning Salt (I use Johnny’s)
1 pound shredded Colby Jack Cheese
1 can Corn, drained

Mix well and turn to low until the Chowder is to your temperature liking.  ENJOY!
