Meat and Bean Chili

I think I’m enjoying the winter CSA I joined even more than I enjoyed the summer/fall CSA. Both are great, but the winter version includes such items as locally raised meats, cheeses, milk, and even root beer in addition to the late harvest/cold storage fruits and veggies. Our most recent share included a pound of ground goat meat. If you’ve never had goat, it’s similar to but gamier than lamb. It can replace beef in just about any dish, and it stands up particularly well in spicier recipes. … Continue Reading →

I recommend purchasing a turkey fryer set, so you know everything will work … Continue Reading →

Herb-Roasted Turkey With Shallot Pan Gravy

I like to use different recipes for turkey, gravy and stuffing each year. It keeps things interesting for me, and the end result is always a surprise. That may change since making this turkey and gravy from the November 2000 issue of Bon Appétit. Everyone at dinner raved about it, especially my husband. By the time we’d arrived at my aunt’s house (where we traditionally go for desserts every year) word had spread. I was approached several times by people making comments about how good my turkey had been…people who hadn’t even tasted it! My husband, who generally skips the … Continue Reading →
