What do we reach for when it starts to get chilly? Chili!
Yep, nothing is more comforting than cozying up in a warm blanket with a big bowl of chili leftovers in hand binge-watching Grey’s Anatomy. (BTW. Ashley Iaconetti will be recapping Grey’s on our Snapchat this Thursday! Check it out @FabFitFun.)
This vegetarian chili recipe is hearty, healthy, and delicious — not to mention super filling (hello fiber!). One bowl of this chili, and you’ll be good to go for hours. Though the ingredient list may be intimidating, this recipe is actually super simple. Simply let the pot do all the work for you while you multitask with other things around the house — like pouring your friends more wine.
As always, we encourage you to have fun with our recipes. Add in your favorite veggies and tubers to switch things up (try roasted sweet potatoes and squash for the perfect seasonal treat)!
