I had my parents and brother visiting for my birthday. During the time they were here it snowed and ended up being cold a couple of days. What is quite warming than a bowl of hearty chowder!?

That week I had bought a can of clams from Costco and couldn’t wait to make chowder for dinner so it worked out perfectly.

My brother who has worked in the Restaurant Business for eons said my chowder was really good. I love when he compliments my food. It is almost like he is my own personal food critic, LOL.
