Downtown: Hearty Meals for Cold Nights
Drizzly days have us dreaming of warm dishes and familiar recipes, like beef stew made with bottom round from Indian Hills Farm and carrots from Animal Farm. On the veggie side of things, consider this mushroom stew and featuring oyster mushrooms from HiFi Mycology, and creminis from Kitchen Pride!

Sunset Valley: A Dog’s World
Take care of your canine friends this January with fresh raw food from Chow Hound. Their premium dog food features top quality proteins, fruits and vegetables prepared in small batches, and convenient delivery or pickup options. For an extra special treat consider a bag of beef bones from Copper Creek Ranch, the extra-large bones are safe for pups to chew on and the rest can be made into nourishing bone broth to carry you through the weekend.
