Corn Crab Chowder with Bacon
August 21, 2014 By: Kathy Steger17 Comments
A delicious Corn Chowder loaded with crab and bacon is a satisfying and delicious meal especially when served with home made organic cornbread. I am slowly accepting the fact that the summer is almost over. The realization that the heat is not coming back came when we returned from our trip. I climbed into the pool and thought my toes were going to freeze off. I quickly climbed out and it still took me about 10 minutes to heat through. I especially noticed how moody the temperatures are. Yesterday morning I needed a cardigan since it was only 60 degrees, but then later on in the day I felt like I was having a heat exhaustion in my suit. Maybe I’m just crazy. I’m sure spending 5 days in Mexico with 90 degree days was not helpful. Nevertheless summer is coming to an end and part of me is sad. I love a good corn chowder but corn chowder with crab and bacon is a whole new game. Cornbread turned this into a complete dinner that was simply perfect. Even Briana loved it. That says a lot since I have a really hard time getting her to eat anything seafood outside of shrimp.
Have a great weekend friends
