Bean Gratin by John Spottiswood

This delicious and healthy recipe can be made with any variety of white bean, dried or canned. I used dried cannellini beans. Great Northern beans or other white beans will work too. I served this with a delicious Pork Stew, but I think it would go well with any hearty meat or poultry dish. It took me back to our summer visit to…

Chili with a Choke by Rich H

Funny sounding name - but before you run off without trying this great chili recipe...what else could I call it with the addition of delicious, quartered artichokes that provide just the right bit of tangy flavor?
