Bean Chowder
"In elementary school we always had bean chowder on Fridays. It was one of the few things I liked on the lunch menu, along with the cinnamon rolls that were served with it for desert. After looking for umpteen years I finally found both recipes. So I'm posting them here for safe keeping."

<p>What can I say, I love food! Sometimes a lil' too much, but who doesn't? Most of my favorite recipes have been handed down from my Grandma, and of course she's the best cook I know. <br /> <br />I love good ole' country cooking! But occasionally I have to get my gourmet on. LOL!</p>
