Cappie’s Chowder
Every Christmas Eve, we make my dad's Bean and Potato Chowder, now affectionately called Cappie's Chowder! We pair it with Southern cornbread, the perfect complement to this delicious dish. This simple meal reminds us of how fortunate and blessed we are. Afterward, we bundle up and watch "The Star" together before heading to bed, eagerly awaiting Santa’s arrival. It’s truly my favorite family tradition and the best night of the year!
