There is an extensive collection of chili recipes ranging from a Best-ever White Chili to the Texas-style Chili Con Carne. In addition the Mushroom Barley Soup was a satisfying vegetarian meal and lived up to the sophisticated claim in its title. The kids enjoyed the Kid’s favorite fondue on Super bowl Sunday with chunks of tomato and melted cheddar cheese. The Easy Pot Roast was a hit along with the Classic Beef Stew.

A little prep work beforehand yields a fully cooked meal at the end of a long day.
