Corn Chowder
I made a corn chowder recipe from here that contained bacon, cream of celery soup, creamed corn, onions, celery, fresh green beans and topped it with cooked bacon and shredded cheese. Do you have this recipe?
--Ann
Hi Ann!
Hmmm, I can’t seem to find that particular recipe you are asking about. But I do have something that’s similar. My Corn & Cheddar Chowder is highly rated by visitors and contains creamed corn, kernel corn, onion and bell pepper, with Cheddar cheese stirred in just at the end. A sprinkling of crumbled bacon just before serving would be a great touch!

QuestionI have several cookie recipes I would like to try but they all call for shortening (which I have never used in anything, and can't imagine ever using!). Can I use butter instead and get the same results? What about in pie crust? Thanks for all your help in the past - you are the greatest! --Nana RuthMarch 2012

QuestionDear Betty, I frequently see "baking soda" as an ingredient in many baked goods recipes. Why is this? Is it really necessary? In addition, salt may be optional. If a person is attempting to reduce her/his SODIUM intake can't she/he do without either or both ingredients without really affecting the outcome/taste of the baked good(s)? Thank you and happy holidays! Sincerely, BillMarch 2012
