Homemade Goodness *Corn Chowder*

Corn is in full season right now so stock up on it. I picked up corn today at The Pumpkin Patch 6/$1. Can you believe it? Crazy low prices. I bought 30, brought them home and then realized that I had to somehow do something with it all. lol. Yikes! Here are a few idea's:

1. Cut corn off, lay on a cookie sheet, freeze it, then put in a freezer safe container.

2. Freeze whole corn as is in freezer safe containers.

3. Eat it.

We decided to make corn chowder tonight and it was amazing. My kids ate it up so fast. My husband even enjoyed it and that's saying a lot. He doesn't like soup at all but since this was so thick, it really wasn't soup. So try this out and enjoy!
