Salmon Chowder

Extended Shelf Life for: Ground Salmon and Red Potatoes

Lent is here. And although we're not Catholic, we appreciate the intentionality that is often put into the lenten season, the sacrifice and the concern for others. I also, personally enjoy having some sort of reason to do something - like eat fish on Fridays. So, we welcomed in the season of lent with this Salmon Chowder and our dear friend Mark and his parents, who are practicing Catholics!
