Cooking - for a new lifestyle (Our Test Kitchen)

This was super easy. In a large deep skillet or dutch oven: melt 1/2 cup butter Add: 1 cup diced onions 2 diced raw potatoes (or 2 cups frozen hash browns) 1 1/2 cups water Cover and cook on medium heat for 20 minutes or until potatoes are fully cooked. Add: 1 small can of corn (or cream corn) 1/2 bag frozen baby scallops 1/2 bag frozen baby shrimp 3 tbsp of your favourite seasoning (I used bacon and chives) Continue cooking on medium and stirring. Add: 1 cup of milk or cream I then used an immersion blender to break it down a bit. John said it was definitely a do again... especially when he can enjoy non-pureed seafood! "Bon Appetit!"

In a large saucepan: fry 4 sausages either cubed or in thin rings until "just" cooked add 2 cups of chicken, vegetable or beef broth  ensure to scrape the pan bottom add 3 more cups of liquid I now added 1 package of SUNSET GOURMET roasted red pepper corn chowder mix. Mix of plump corn, potatoes, red pepper and onions. Hearty corn chowder with a hint of heat. Gluten-Free Bring back to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Add 1 cup of heavy cream or 1/2 and 1/2. I served this over mashed potatoes (baked potatoes would be good too), and fresh bread. "Bon appetit!"
