Sigona’s Super Simple Guacamole
Guacamole goes on anything from tacos to salmon burgers, but we probably all like it best as a dip for crudités, such as veggies or little gem lettuces, and, of course, chips. Whip yourself up a batch of this super simple guacamole any ol’ night of the week. Serves about 4 to 6 as a dip.

Big Game Chili with Grass-fed Beef
We’ve adapted this recipe from Drew, a Sigona’s fan, who shared it with us ahead of game day. It’s fantastic on baked potatoes (ever tried it on sweet potatoes?) or simply in a bowl, garnished with your favorite toppings. Looking for an even healthier option? You can use ground turkey instead of the beef if you wish. You can make this on the stovetop or in a slow cooker. Instructions for both options are below. Serves about 6.
