Hey Frugal Friends. It’s August, and back-to-school is coming up! If you have littles, it’s a busy time, but even if you don’t, a quick and easy budget skillet dinner can never be wrong. Creamy Beef and Shells hits all the marks.
Creamy Beef and Shells – don’t underestimate what a little Parm and Parsley can do!
This year I was gifted some sweet corn, freshly picked the night before. First of all, there’s something magical about fresh sweet corn, but to think of it being picked, on a balmy summer night by the light of the moon. All of a sudden it seemed even more magical! Some of my Sweet Corn went to my Instant Pot Sweet Corn (love love love no pots of boiling water and the IP cooks corn so beautifully) and the rest, well it went into this Potato Corn Chowder Instant Pot or Not.

Every year I go through the same thing. I see the small signs of fall coming, but I just ignore them. I never want summer to end and I never want to think about our Minnesota winter to come. But one thing that’s a sure sign of that impending change of seasons is what I want to eat and how I want to cook. And today I was thinking Berry Souffle Pancakes.

Finally, it’s here. The Cafe Lattes Tres Leches Cake. If you follow me (I’d love it if you would, sign-ups are to the right!) you might remember the blogging fail when I dropped the Cafe Lattes Tres Leches Cake in February. I called it The Cake of Broken Dreams.
Caffe Latte’s Tres Leches Cake,
So last week I posted Philly Cheesesteak Sliders (in honor of the Philadelphia Eagles – that’s before I knew how badly our Vikings were going to be trounced!) This week, I thought what the heck. New England Clam Chowder was in order to represent the New England Patriots. For the Superbowl, eh? You betcha. We’re hosting it in Minneapolis this year, so that’s exciting. And whether the Eagles or the Patriots win, you’ll have a win if you serve this New England Clam Chowder.
New England Clam Chowder – make this as thick or as thin as you’d like, very easily!
