Happy National Chili Day! In honor of this timely holiday we made a big batch of homemade chili in our handmade flameware Dutch Oven. Three kinds of organic beans (pinto, kidney, black), crushed tomatoes, green chilies, fresh bell pepper, and tons of

A Tasty Alternative to Hollandaise
Morgan made a confession to me today. She doesn’t like hollandaise sauce. As somebody who could eat Eggs Benedict everyday of the week, I was taken aback. Who could resist the joy that is a rich, citrusy hollandaise? It was reassuring to know that she
