The Joys of a Simmering Crock Pot

A few summers back, I saw a recipe for summer corn chowder on the  Southern Living Instagram feed.  This chowder is made in a crock pot and uses fresh corn, two things that I can always get behind.  The taste is full-on amazing, so that’s a third advantage.

I made the soup yesterday and the smell of the crock pot in the afternoon, plus the promise of a supper that could simply be ladled out when we were ready to eat, made for a happy afternoon.

Try it for yourself.  

Your Weekly Bouquet

Each week, I pick myself some zinnias from the garden and make a fresh bouquet or two.  For the next few weeks, I'll be posting a picture of the week's bouquets.

 That's happy!
