As Autumn turns to Winter, we change with the seasons. Leaves fall from trees, and chile turns from green to red. The holidays bring us together with family and friends for delicious food and fond conversation, and as 2010 brings a fresh start, we all hope for a prosperous and fruitful new year. Bueno hopes to be part of your changing seasons with our wide variety of red chile products. Take part in the New Mexican tradition with our red chile pods, powders, purees and sauces.

We here at Bueno value family and traditional family recipes. One of our most treasured recipes for this time of year is posole. Posole can be made with beef or pork, or both! At our house, we make it with beef and pork: our Mother came from cattle country, and our Father grew up raising pigs. Our posole was always a delightful dish with roots that ran deep. Please enjoy this recipe and have a wonderful holiday season.
--The Baca Family
