Cheesy Chowder ~ Incredibly Easy Cheesy Chowder Loaded with Carrots, Potatoes, Celery and Ham!
I think the point has been established that I am not afraid to try new recipes, in fact I would say that I thrive on trying new recipes. I usually have a notebook with ideas jotted down in it and literally carry this all over with me because one never knows when inspiration will hit.
With that being said I do not make new recipes every single meal. No way, no how. I have staples that I always turn to for meals. Now desserts that’s a bit of a different issue because I don’t make those every day so if I am going to make one it tends to be new unless it’s going somewhere to serve the public. Then I usually refrain from testing a new recipe out in case of failure. Yes, I have my fair share of failures people! I bet you are just shocked aren’t you?
My favorite thing is the look my husband gives me every single time I make a dinner. Then these words come flying out of his mouth, “Is this new”? I typically say no you’ve had this multiple times before and you liked it. I’m not leaving that last part up for question!
I’ve been working on redoing a lot of pictures from my old posts because let’s just say they are quite pathetic and unappetizing. I personally wouldn’t want to eat if I looked at it and I’m guessing you don’t either. Lately we’ve tackled French’s Crunchy Cheddar Onion Chicken, Ham, Cheese, Poppy Seed Sandwiches and Apple Pull Apart Bread. Every time I pull one of these redo recipes he always asks if it’s new. Every.Single.Time.
I’m trying to figure out if my meals are that forgettable or my husband doesn’t care what I feed him as long as it’s hot and ready when dinner comes around?
Now, if he asks about the Cheddar Chowder the next time I serve it I might have to giggle. The man didn’t get a single bite of this. Not one. He was off building something when I treated myself to this. Yes, myself. I put Miss K down for a nap, enjoyed some quiet time in the kitchen and treated myself to a bowl of soup alone. Sometimes as a mom you need this solace.
Then I hoarded the leftovers for myself during the week it was that amazing!

Marybeth says
Could you freeze this soup to reheat later?
Thanks!
Julie Evink says
I’ve never tried it. I would worry about the potatoes getting mushy after they are froze and reheated and possibly the cheese sauce separating.
Julie Evink says
I’m sure you can!

Hehe my husband is the same way – drives me bonkers with his selective memory 😉 I would have a hard time sharing this chowder with him too – it looks incredible! I love how comforting this looks and quick and easy meals are my favorite:)
Kathi @ Deliciously Yum! says
My hubby is the same way… sometimes he can’t even remember what we ate the night before, lol. Incredibly easy are two of my favorite words when it comes to cooking. I am always on the lookout for quick dinner meals and this one definitely fits the bill. Looks delicious, Julie!

Glad I’m not the only with a hubs like that! Thanks Kathi!

Jen+@+Baked+by+an+Introvert says
My husband is exactly the same way. I think it’s a selective memory problem.
This chowder looks so delicious. No wonder you hoarded it for yourself. I would have done the same.
Julie Evink says
Men truly have a selective memory problem I just thought food would be something they would remember!
Danielle | Krafted Koch says
Oh man, this looks so good! I bet the hubs is disappointed he didn’t get any. I would take a large bowl of this, with the chilly weather starting to settle in soon.
Julie Evink says
What the hubs doesn’t know won’t hurt him!
