This is how chili is meant to be - with both beef and beans, and so simple you can put it together in a few minutes. Kids love this recipe because it's not too spicy, and we always serve it with a variety of toppings and hot sauce so the grown ups can add some extra heat. Double the recipe to feed a crowd for Sunday football.

This fall, we’re cooking up our favorite Oktoberfest recipes with a Northwest twist. On the menu: beer-braised Colvin Ranch Smoked bratwurst, German potato salad, and braised cabbage. Our favorite beer for this recipe is the traditional Bohemian-style Pilsner from our neighbors down the road at Talking Cedar Brewery.

Steak frites is our favorite steak and potatoes meal. Our ranch-style version features crispy potato wedges baked in the oven, and an herb-butter compound to top off the steaks. Use a rib steak or top sirloin steak, and whatever herbs you have on hand for the butter.

London Broil is a method of cooking a lean, thick steak. Cooking is quick and easy, and the end result is tender and flavorful. You just need to plan ahead to marinate the steak. Traditionally, a London Broil is cooked by broiling in the oven, but we like to grill or sear it in a cast iron pan instead.
