The Best Chili Ever


It's taken a few years to get this chili just right, but it was worth all the trial and error. Like most treasured family recipes,  it's been tweaked and adjusted over time to the liking of each member,  until it's a group favorite.  Spicy, sweet, and smoky... this is true comfort food.

Guinness Irish Stew

Move over corned beef! This sirloin stew is a slow cooked, super tender, traditional Irish comfort food. The rich gravy is incredible; building on the beefy flavor with a substantial amount of Guinness, fresh herbs and lots of hearty root vegetables. Grab a slice of your favorite soda bread, slather it with some Kerrygold butter, and dig in. Sláinte!

Cream of Asparagus Soup

I get really excited when asparagus makes its way to the front of the produce section. It means Easter is around the corner & spring is in the air! Bring on the warmer weather & fresh garden veggies!  Unfortunately, Upstate New York still has mounds of snow this time of year, but a bowl of this velvety asparagus soup is a warm reminder of sunny days yet to come. 

Cast Iron Irish Soda Bread

Simple to make, quick to bake and nearly fool-proof, this dense bread should be a staple on your St. Patrick's Day menu. It's incredibly versatile; adapting easily to any taste. Sweet or savory... adding raisins and caraway or nothing at all. It's the perfect side to round out a hearty corned beef dinner with a pint of Guinness!
