This cold weather has been making me hungry for something warm… like chili!

I found this vegan chili recipe the other day, so we* Steven made it on Monday night. We made the recipe as written, but added 1/2 teaspoon of dried jalapeños. Yum yum yum. It turned out SO GOOD**. I love chili with a lot of beans and this one did not disappoint!

Apparently, cornbread goes with chili? This was news to me, but when Steven asked me to find a recipe for vegan cornbread, I all of a sudden started craving it.

We used this recipe from vegweb, but used 2 tablespoons of milled flaxseed mixed with 3-4 tablespoons of warm water in place of the egg replacer. Oh gosh. Fresh, hot cornbread… drooool. It turned out really good. I am not sure how long the leftovers are going to last.

Do you have staple dishes that you make over and over? We often have soy burger sandwiches or salads for dinner, but once a week, we usually make one of “our dishes” – our “Pad Siew” or refried beans with rice. We end up making these dishes when our family comes to visit too. It would be nice to add chili to that list of “our dishes.”

*I was sent to pick up cornmeal and was in charge of opening the cans of beans when I got back.
**And it made the house smell SUPER GOOD!!!
