Vanilla and Bean is the beautiful healthy vegetarian food blog made by Traci who resides in beautiful Whidbey Island, WA.  She always loved to cook good food but realized the food wasn’t always good-for-you. Fourteen years ago she made the switch to a mostly vegetarian lifestyle out of her concern for the consequences of growing meat and harvesting unsustainable seafood has on our planet. Traci aims to create vegetarian meals with whole foods, and loves sharing delicious food and recipes with others.

Ingredients: coconut oil, yellow onion, poblano pepper, cumin, chili powder, paprika, sea salt, chipotle, adobo sauce, vegetable broth, fire roasted tomatoes, black beans, pinto or kidney beans, kabocha or pumpkin puree, garlic cloves, black pepper, oregano. Serve with cilantro, avocado, jalapenos.

I crave some kind of chili pretty much weekly in the fall and winter months, its just so comforting, flavorful and makes great leftovers. If you are short on time, skip the kabocha and use canned pureed pumpkin.
