Chicken and Corn ChowderGary Moss

Purchased roast chicken and frozen corn kernels simplify the preparation. Serve the chowder first, then a variety of grilled sausages with the mixed-greens salad and corn bread alongside. Kids will likely prefer the Pastry-Wrapped Sausages over plain grilled ones.
