I ALWAYS FEEL LUCKY BECAUSE OF MY HARVEST RIGHT FREEZE DRYER
Isn’t it funny how everybody gets a brogue in March? Even my not-one-hair-on-his-head-is-Irish husband is talking about green beer. Of course, I get into the St. Paddy’s Day spirit with food.

Freeze Drying Chili
Chili is one of those meals we never get tired of, and we never get tired of experimenting with. In the winter we make thick, meaty, spicy chilis that are warming from the inside out.
