Fiery Beef and Bean Stew
When I visit my parents, we almost always end up eating out in Stevens Point, WI because it has an abundance of delicious restaurants. Usually we end up eating at Father Fats, an incredible tapas restaurant. However, the last time I went out with them, we went across the street to the chef’s sister restaurantContinue reading “Fiery Beef and Bean Stew”
Italian Beef
Do you ever have a craving that hits you out of nowhere? This feeling happened to me last month. Out of the blue, I remembered a delicious dish that I had eaten at a friend’s house in high school.

White Turkey Noodle Chili
Tis the season for turkey! It’s been a great Thanksgiving week, so I thought I would highlight one of my favorite chili recipes.

I mean, who doesn’t love Italian cuisine? Before the pandemic happened, once a year, in February, Cole and I would go toContinue reading “Turkey Zuppa Toscana”
Four Bean Venison Chili
Cole and I both love chili so much, and luckily, there’s so many different ways to make it!

Beef Bourguignon
Soups and stews are my absolute favorite way to cook, and they are what I do best. However, even though beef stew is a fairly common dish, it is something that I didn’t grow up eating.
