I’ve always dreamed of travelling the globe, living in other places, meeting lots of new faces, feasting all over, and serving food to all my new friends. Wouldn’t that be the life? Well, I’m not going to Bali, or to China or even Mexico or Hawaii, but I am becoming an ambassador. I’m livin’ the dream, baby! Don’t I wish? But really-I’ve been asked to do some giveaways and write one post a month for Whole Foods and I’m excited. They give me a few suggestions each month and I can write whatever I want. Like they think I wouldn’t? And the good news is that you-yeah, that means YOU-my faithful readers get to have fun, too! I have the pleasure of giving away three giveaways to anyone in the US. Sorry, that this isn’t a worldwide thing, but I would include you if I could! This is like their Halloween bag, but I think the pretzels and the bunny grahams would be great in someone’s lunch box.

You know that scene in the movie where the nerdy hero or heroine finds inner confidence and suddenly becomes much more interesting and much more attractive to the rest of the world? That hero is beef stew and its time for confidence is now. The beef stew of my dreams starts with large tender, juicy chunks of beef coated in a sauce that is rich and intense but not heavy or muddy (and that sauce had better be clean and glistening). It has vegetables that are more than just filler, but bring a complementary texture and flavor to the party. After dozens of pounds of stewed beef and scores of ex...

To be frank, I'm not 100% certain where this dish of tender chicken and white beans bound in a creamy, fresh green-chili sauce topped with shredded cheese comes from. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if the recipe actually originated on the back of a wrapper from a can chopped green chilies. But our version is better than that. Much, much better.
