Guess what we had for dinner on Sunday?  It was warm, hearty, and wonderful.  Are you finished guessing?  I made Clam Chowder....and I used foods from my Food Storage.  This was so convenient and easy. Want to see?

I covered the vegetables with the clam juice and then added enough water to cover the and simmer until tender..about 20 minutes.


The recipe called for a quart of milk......so I made one!


I added the milk to the rue I had made (melted butter ....from my freezer....and flour)
