French onion soup is one of my favorite cold-weather comfort foods. These pork chops transform everything I love about the classic into a hearty skillet dinner. The chops are nestled in a rich, savory gravy loaded with deeply caramelized onions, fresh thyme, a splash of dry sherry, and plenty of beefy flavor.

I Tried 60 Sakara Meals for 4 Weeks in a Row, and Was Shocked by the Delicious Flavors and Generous Portions

Fishwife Just Released Its First-Ever Tinned Fish Advent Calendar That’s Guaranteed to Sell Out
My pantry is constantly stocked with Fishwife’s tinned fish. I’ve tried a bunch of varieties from the brand, including smoked salmon, smoked rainbow trout, and albacore tuna, and they’ve all been absolutely delicious. Naturally, when I found out the woman-founded brand was dropping its very first Advent calendar, I was all over it.
