Veggie-Tarian Can Be Good Too

I never thought vegetarian food was very good. Just very bland and flavorless to say the least. However the other night I had the opportunity to make some vegetarian food, and it actually was awesome. We had some new friends over and it so happens that she is a vegetarian. I love Crock Pot recipes on these chilly winter days.

Wintertime Chili

adapted from: Low-Fat High-Flavor Cookbook

1 large can (7oz) diced green chilies

1 red bell pepper diced

1 cup chopped onion

3 garlic cloves, minced

1 t ground cumin

1/2 t ground coriander

1 T chili powder

1/2 t brown sugar

1 (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes with jalapenos

2 cans (16oz) red kidney beans, rinsed and drained

Dump all ingredients in Crock Pot. Cook on HIGH for about 4 hours.

You can cook on stove top for about 35-50 minutes until thoroughly heated.

I served this with this mac-n-cheese and a loaf of herb bread.
