My friend Katie blogs at Life with a Dash of Whimsy and asked me to do two guest blog posts for her while she was on maternity leave.

She is now out of the Army and living in Hawaii where her husband is stationed. Katie is the mom to two adorable kids, Jackson and Caroline.

Corn, Potato, and Sausage Chowder
A few weeks ago, it was in the 80's every afternoon here in Washington. I was out of town for a weekend, came home, and suddenly it was fall!
