Creamy Corn & Potato Chowder Lightened Up

I feel like I’m in the twilight zone…or maybe Alaska since I’m two seconds away from calling myself an Inuit and becoming permanently frozen from the blistering cold and endless snow. After last week’s blizzard and what the Weatherman deemed “thundersnow” I declared winter FINALLY over and Spring just around the corner. I predicted warm weather coming my way in the next couple days and even started researching patio furniture, comfy loungers and misters to keep me cool and comfortable while I tan myself in the backyard.
