Corn Chowder and Peach Pie

This part of the post is for Shelly. I hope you do find the book and enjoy it. I have made pancakes, waffles, almond french toast and strata from it. It's a wonderful book with loads of variations for each recipe. It also includes soups and salads, an apricot ginger jam I want to try among other things. This fall I'm making the pear struesel coffee cake as soon as the pears get ripe. Now how divine does that sound. All the recipes are easy and she explains the steps.
I use Ina's recipe for Corn Chowder and it is divine. I had never eaten Corn Chowder before and a few years ago she made it on her show. It sounded so good I had to try it. I fell in love and now make it every summer when corn is at it's peak. For the recipe go here.
The pie is Martha's and she would totally have a stroke if she knew I used a frozen pie crust. I'm sorry Martha, please forgive me. It was an easy recipe to make and one of the best peach pie's I've had. You can get the recipe here. I just happened to have some Creme Fraiche on hand. I've been making salmon roasted with Creme Fraiche which is another post.


Enjoy and Bon Appetit!!

I"m going to try the soup. I'm a huge soup lover and never tire of them.

Peach Pie i've never had and probably wouldnt like. I'm not much of a pie lover other than apple pie.

Pies are one big reason why I'd love to visit America again... I never tried eating any pies when I went years ago... next time I'm arrange my visit around finding pies to eat. Yum,and peach pie!? Looks fabulous Judy.

I missed my dinner invite...I'd like to get my hands on that cook book too. I love unique food presentations and that cover page looks intriguing.

Corn chowder is one of my faves, especially on a cool Northwest eve.
Sometimes I make it a cheddar chowder with ham.

Sweet Wishes,
Sara
