Break out your prettiest bowls! The week’s menu is all about comforting soups and stews, just in time for the early Arctic blast that has much of America pulling on their boots and wrapping up in cozy sweaters. There’s nothing better than a stick-to-your ribs beef stew for dinner on a Sunday evening, especially if you’ve spent the day outside raking up an avalanche of fall leaves. Our bison chipotle chili is also a winner. Flavored with smoky chipotle chili power,  it has two additional secret ingredients –  apple cider and unsweetened chocolate. The apple cider brings natural sweetness, and the chocolate brings a depth of flavor without leaving much of itself behind.

All six meals on this week’s menu are gluten free. For our paleo readers who are avoiding dairy products, try replacing the Portobello Mushroom Pizzas with Seared Duck Breast with Balsamic Green Beans. You can also check out all of our weekly seasonal menus here.
