I have an important question for you today. What is the deal with cable? I mean seriously why does it cost so much? I got an email from my provider last week saying they’re switching to digital as of June and any TV connected to a wall will need a digital box. Oh yeah, and there’s a monthly fee per box.

I have four TV’s upstairs so when you do the math that’s an another $20 a month! I only watch Bravo, E!, Fox and Food Network. Why can’t I just pick the channels I want and pay by channel? Sorry for the rant, but cable is just as much out of control as health insurance.

So…this is where I need your help. I’m either going to switch to satellite for two years (they have an awesome deal right now) then switch to Netflix and Hulu because I have apple TV. What are the pros and cons of either? I would love to hear what you think in the comments!

All this rambling does lead into this amazing Manhattan Cod Chowder recipe. Promise!

You see whether I’m making a recipe, writing a blog post, shooting food or doing homework I have to have music playing. Somehow the beat helps me focus. When I was younger, I was the same way. I could never get anything done without music.

While I was shooting this Manhattan Cod Chowder recipe, I realized if I get rid of cable I’ll also be saying good-bye to the music channels that fuel my creativity and now that FREE Apple music has been eliminated the only free music I’ll be left with is whatever’s on my iTunes. Is anything free anymore?

Oh yeah, this Manhattan Cod Chowder is totally free! Made simple, everyday, healthy ingredients you won’t believe how EASY and delicious this one is.

I used Sizzlefish cod. Did you know they deliver it fresh, right to your door? I like knowing I’m getting quality fish and don’t have to worry about getting funky fish from the grocery store. I’m eagerly waiting for my delivery this week so I can make another batch of this deliciousness!

This Manhattan Cod Chowder is light enough for warm weather, yet hearty enough to stick to your ribs. An exquisite Spring soup and guaranteed crowd pleaser! Enjoy your bowl of FREE hearty goodness!
