Articles & Recipes

Maple-Glazed Pork Chops

The best foods are sometimes the simplest. Our maple-glazed pork chops, with a sweet, tangy glaze of maple syrup and cider vinegar, come together quickly, and they're so delicious you'll be thinking about making them again before you finish eating.

Portuguese Bean Soup

This Portuguese bean soup recipe features Portuguese sausage along with kidney beans, potatoes, tomatoes, chicken broth, onions, garlic and celery, plus a lovely smoky flavor thanks to a ham hock. It's a deliciously hearty dish that's wonderful on a chilly day.

Tomato Basil Soup

Our homemade tomato basil soup recipe is even better than what you may find in a restaurant, thanks to roasted tomatoes, roasted garlic and plenty of fresh basil. A little half-and-half cream added towards the end of the cooking time makes the soup creamy.
