Cuisine. Culture. Commentary.
I was supposed to have a board meeting last Tuesday evening and didn’t want to get home late and then start fussing over supper. Instead, I planned a crock pot meal that would be ready to eat the moment I walked in the door. I picked a white chicken chili recipe because it was evocative of…

Spinach is packed with all sorts of good-for-you things. In fact, of all the things in season during the winter, it probably has the most health benefits.

Once again, the demo station at Trader Joe’s hooked me. They were sampling their take on shepherd’s pie and I just had to make it for myself. All you have to do is cook two of their frozen items, the bbq pulled brisket and the mashed potatoes and put them in a casserole dish (bbq…
