Mind-Bendingly Easy Green Chili Stew Recipe

I was rather stunned when I actually sat down to make a grocery list for this easy green chili stew recipe sent in by Maggie Towne. It was missing some measurements and I hadn’t even noticed that!

Sunrises Over the Truchas Peaks, Part 1

Truchas Peaks, actually a series of three peaks to comprise what most of us think of as one mountain, stands 13,024 feet at its highest point, making it the second highest peak in New Mexico.
