Broccoli Cheddar Chowder By Kelly Miller • October27,2014 • Updated January 12, 2022 • 5 Comments 626 15 Jump to Recipe Sneak in those veggies with a warm creamy bowl of this cheesy broccoli cheddar chowder – they’ll never know! Made with potatoes, celery, frozen broccoli, and cheddar cheese. First day of Kindergarten. First and last soccer practice (of REAL soccer). Reading actual words for the first time. Reading actual BOOKS for the first time. Then last week this happened: Somebody stop the mommy train, I want to get off! 🙁 If you can’t tell, Silas’ tooth is gone right there in the middle on the bottom. This was followed a few days later by the other one right next to it, and he is now $2.00 richer care of the Tooth Fairy. Fast forward to this past week, the boys had a dentist appointment and sure enough, because he’s my child, Silas has two “soft spots” on his back teeth. My understanding is that soft spots aren’t cavities just yet, but they will turn into cavities soon so they recommend sealing them now – which requires no anesthesia. I was hoping they boys would inherit Paul’s “good teeth” genes, so I guess the jury’s still out on that. The dentist told me that what you eat is just as important as brushing and flossing regularly. The best foods to promote healthy teeth are foods rich in calcium and phosphorus: cheese, milk, and nuts. And also, crunchy fruits and vegetables. This Broccoli Cheddar Chowder is the PERFECT yummy dinner to sneak in those veggies – and I love that you can use frozen broccoli to have on hand in the freezer whenever you feel like whipping it up for dinner – no worries about produce going bad that way!
