Family Recipes

There is nothing quite like a bowl of chili. In one spoonful, you get some heat, spice, a bunch of veggies, beans, and chunks of meat (if it’s not vegetarian). It’s an approachable dish for the novice to experienced cook, to make and share with the family and even the neighbors. If you have the patience, let your chili simmer for a few hours. It's one of those dishes that gets better with time. This will ensure that all the flavors fuse together for a pot if savory filled goodness.
