Seafood and Corn Chowder

We had this for dinner last night and I couldn't wait to share! You've got to try this. It is so good. Very few ingredients and very little time to prepare equals a fantastic meal in no time. Fresh corn from the cob works best in this recipe.

Ingredients

• 1 lb of fresh or frozen seafood mix (I used shrimp, calamari, and scallops)
• 1/4 cup of all purpose flour
• 1/2 stick of butter
• 3 cups of milk (I used almond milk)
• 2 cups of chicken broth
• 2 cups of fresh or frozen corn
• 2 cups of seasoned frozen chopped potatoes
• 1/4 tsp of black pepper
• 1 tsp of sea salt

Directions
In a 4 quart pot add the butter and cook on medium heat until melted. Once the butter has melted, stir in the flour until well blended. Stir in the milk and cook until the mixture has thickened. Then stir in the potatoes, chicken broth, black pepper, and sea salt. Cook for 15 - 20 minutes or until the potatoes are done. Add the corn and seafood mix and cook for approximately 10 - 15 minutes or until the seafood is done and the broth is thick and creamy. You will know that the seafood is done by the whitening of the shrimp, etc. Serve in 8 - 10 oz bowls and let cool for approximately 5 minutes. Enjoy! 

Makes 4 - 6 servings.

Fried Green Tomatoes

Fried green tomatoes are one of my favorite summers sides. I'd better enjoy them while I can! :)

2 Tbsp of cooking oil
2 large green tomatoes
1/2 cup all purpose flour
2 eggs (the yolk and white separated)
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp salt

Heat a 10" skillet on low to medium heat. Add the cooking oil. While the skillet is heating, slice the tomatoes (the slices should be approximately 1/4 inch thick). Sprinkle the slices with the salt and pepper on both sides. In two separate bowls, or plates, that can hold the egg whites, add the add whites only to one and the flour to the other. Dip the seasoned slices into the egg white first and then coat them lightly with the flour.

Place the coated tomato slices onto the heated skillet and cook them on both sides for approximately 3-4 minutes. Pay close attention to the temperature of the skillet so as not to brown the tomatoes too quickly. Once the tomatoes have cooked to a light golden brown, remove them from the skillet and cool and serve as a side dish to your favorite meal or as a snack. Enjoy!
