You and I think alike!! I copied this same recipe from the WW site just a few days ago. Although the weather is beginning to turn warm again, this still sounds so delicious!!
ReplyDeleteLast night I made a Shrimp and Fennel Chowder from a recipe I found on the FatSecret web site. It was very good--my hubby really liked it and my son liked it minus the shrimp. Used fresh fennel I bought at the Farmers' Market that same day. Yum!!
