Hey hey. Hope you all had a great Halloween week. We filled a 6qt. dutch oven with chili for friends and it was all but cleared out.

You will notice that we are repeating a member favorite… THEE favorite, second only to the honey fudge. As part of our plan, there may be a repeat of a favorite here or there. The intention here is not to cut corners, but to stay true to our mission. We desire to make dinner easier on people, and for them to feel more comfortable in the kitchen. In my experience, that comes with knowing how to do something confidently, and that usually takes trying it more than one time. My hope is that as we occasionally repeat favorites, they become yours, and you feel more assured in your dinner skills - that you can make the avocado sauce without a recipe or you swap in shrimp now because you’re looking for a change from salmon.

A few of you have asked about my most used tools. We have a page that lists a handful of my favorites. You may have noticed I use a food processor quite often, so I thought I would mention the one I have and love in case you’re looking for one. It’s a big ticket item, I am aware, but these are workhorses and I’ve had zero issues with mine. Knives also seem to be an issue. You deserve a sharp knife and at least one good chefs knife if you are the one cooking all the time. I mostly use Cutco (which I just realized they sell on Amazon!). I could work with this knife alone if needed. Anyway, if there are any questions on equipment, check the site first, and let me know if you have any questions!
