Fast Vegetable-Bean Chili

Fast Vegetable Bean ChiliHow many healthy vegetables can you add to a pot of chili? Six! Celery, carrots, bell peppers, zucchini, tomatoes, and fresh spinach. If you count the onions and garlic, you have eight! That’s a lot of vitamins right there. Vegetables are a lifeline to good health so this meatless chili is a good way to get a variety of veggies in one delicious meal. Then there are two kinds of beans for plenty of protein and fiber. Whip out a couple of my no knead crusty rolls and dig in!! ????

We don’t like spicy food and I cannot find a mild chili powder so I make my own mixture and it’s not spicy at all. My chili powder recipe uses paprika, cumin, oregano, garlic & onion powder, allspice, and cloves.

Homemade Chili Powder MildI don’t use cayenne at all but you can add a little if you like. Click here for my chili powder recipe.

A couple of notes on this chili: This is a fast recipe so the veggies must be cut small so they cook through nice and soft. Cut them all in 1/4-inch pieces. To save time, prep only the onion, garlic, carrots, and celery to start. Prep the rest while the chili cooks. You may have to adjust the amount of chili powder to your taste. Chili is a good meal to make in advance because it’s even better the next day. Click here for the recipe. – Jenny Jones

“Good morning Ms. Jenny! I made your FLOUR TORTILLAS recipe and I have to say it has NEVER failed me. I’ve  made them so many times now and every time with tasty results. You have such a wonderful and simple recipe for these flour tortillas. The changes I made was to make them a bit smaller and I cooked them just a little bit longer. They came out so good, so soft and on the fluffy side….yummy indeed! For our dinner I made us some turkey and potato tacos with a side of rice. A simple and tasty dinner with homemade  tortillas. I had enough tortillas leftover over from dinner that we had them for breakfast the next morning. I made a couple of scrambled egg tacos for hubby and myself. Along with some hot coffee and we enjoyed an easy, tasty breakfast. Have a nice day Ms. Jenny! Happy cooking!  Dalila.”

Photo of the Month (August)

Apple Cinnamon RollsThis photo sent me to the store to buy apples just so I can try this version of my cinnamon rolls. Dalila, who clearly loves baking and has some mad skills, added apples and pecans to my recipe and it looks amazing. “I added some diced apples to the filling and also some pecans,” she wrote.  “Topped the apple cinnamon rolls with some more chopped pecans before baking. Talk about a delicious morning treat with my coffee!”  Thank you, Dalila, for all of your inspirational and lovely photos.”
