Time for another round of checkIN & checkOUT, a look at some of my favorite recipes, cocktails, products, projects & new finds from around the web. I was hoping to be in full spring mode by now, but the chilly, blustery weather just doesn't want to quit! Anyway here's what I'm loving lately...

The Liebster Award
Do you know about the Liebster Award? I didn't know what it was either until I started blogging! It is an honor given by bloggers to other bloggers as a way to promote and recognize their new sites.

Ham, Potato & Corn Chowder
So I have another recipe to help you use up that leftover ham: Ham, Potato & Corn Chowder. This stuff is so good...creamy and rich, and loaded with flavor.

And since spring takes so long to get underway here in Connecticut, a warm cup of chowder makes a great lunch, or a nice dinner alongside a salad and some
