2nd Chili

Ok, so I know one of my recent posts was about a new chili recipe but I have to tell you about the one I tried tonight because it's better than the pumpkin chili.
I came across this Black bean and Pineapple Chili/Stew (sounds a bit weird right?). But I read over the ingredients and I happened to have everything on the list so I thought I would give it a shot. I wasn't sure the pineapple added in with black beans, diced tomatoes and zucchini would work but the flavours came together really well. it added that little touch of sweetness with the spiciness of the cajun seasonings.
You can add more liquid to make it into a soup, less for chili, even less to make a topping for tacos.

It's a Keeper!!

Discouraged after my recently failed Vegan Dutch Baby (custard pancake), i trudged on to find a vegan recipe that was easy to make and ingredients easy to find. With renewed determination i scoured the internet but still a bit wary of how things would taste. Remembering how i ate before, good flavour relied mostly on animal fat/protein, now i’m finding recipes with spices i’ve barely even heard of much less have an idea of how they taste!

Thankfully there was success!! I love a good, hearty meat & bean chili. Well i found a recipe on a site, recommended by a friend, for Pumpkin Vegan chili and it was great! Easy ingredients and you pretty much just dump everything into a pot. I’m also thankful for an adventurous and easy going boyfriend that is willing to try anything i cook once and will eat it “as long as it tastes good, meat or no meat.” After a few bites, i hear, “It’s a keeper!”
