My hubby must be really taking my blog posts to heart, because my meat loving counterpart created this good for you and vegan-friendly chili. This colorful chili is supremely simple to prepare, relying on the flavour of delicious summer vegetables in season. It is beautiful to look at, fresh and filling - the perfect meal to be enjoyed at a picnic table in the backyard on a summer's eve. White navy beans add a great pop of color and complement the lighter summery flavor of this chili. When you serve such an uber-healthy meal, you don't have to feel guilty about topping it with a dollop of sour cream, or pairing it with a fresh-from-the oven delicious homemade biscuit. Happy eating.
Summerside Chili:
2 cups chopped onion
1 cup chopped celery
1 chopped red pepper
1 chopped green pepper
1 cup broccoli
1/2 cup sliced carrots
1 cup chopped zuchinni
1/8 cup chopped basil
1 small can kernel corn
2 large cans diced tomatos
1 can navy beans
1 heaping tablespoon of chili powder ( or more to taste if you like spicy)
1 TBSP olive oil
Season with salt and pepper to taste
Simmer covered on the stove for 30 mins. If you like, top with sour cream, cheddar cheese or green onion.
Super Simple Country Biscuits
My mother-in-law gave me this recipe. Fresh baking always adds that special touch and I love to have something ready for company, to perfectly complete a meal or to add a treat to my husband's lunch. This is an easy, FAST recipe that you always have the ingredients for, that you can have in the oven literally in 2 mins. without destroying your kitchen. This is also a versatile recipe that you can modify by adding ingredients like scallions and cheese, raisins and a touch of honey or cinnamon - wherever your imagination takes you. They are a yummy bite on the go in the morning as well, served with fresh jam or cheese and butter. Yum!
