Holiday Soups

December is a cozy and magical month. It’s full of fresh-fallen snow, winkling lights, and laughter. After a day out in the cold, warming up with a steaming bowl of soup is the perfect way to thaw out from the winter chill.

Pumpkin Chili

Chili is a personal favorite during the cool fall months. After a day of apple picking, pumpkin picking, or even on a cozy night in, chili always makes a welcome appearance. Tender brisket, spicy andouille, and dried chilies, come together with beans and tomatoes in a large Dutch Oven. For hours it simmers away, filling [...]

Lent is a time for self improvement. It’s a time to brush ourselves off from the winter weight and soot. It’s kind of like personal (and for some, spiritual) spring cleaning.
