dake veggie chili & some SWEET Christmas tunes.

Today, I bring you...the Dake Veggie Chili recipe!  We adapted this from a mixture of chili recipes and are quite satisfied with this product.  So, try it & enjoy.  Warning though: you must love beans :)

Ingredients:

-10-12 tomatoes (diced)  OR  2 28 oz. cans of diced tomatoes

-4 to 5 bell peppers (a variety is best!)

-2 onion

-3 tbls tomato paste

-5 15 oz. cans of assorted beans

-garlic salt, salt, cumin & cayenne

1. Heat/saute onion & pepper until soft (5-8 minutes)

2. Add tomato paste & spices (we like spices!  we add lots!  this is up to your discretion though...)

3. Add tomatoes (if canned, add juice), beans & 1 cup of water

4. Bring to a boil and simmer on low heat for 12-15 minutes

5. Add more spice to taste!

6. EAAAAT (it's great with tortilla or pita chips!)

This makes 8-10 servings, depending on how much you eat (ha).  And, you can freeze some for later!

yum.

It's almost Christmas, Chicago is a delightful little Christmas EP from my dear friends Jon & Valerie (of Milano!).  Please take a listen and/or buy!  They are beautiful souls.

 I'm pretty excited.  Hopefully I can pick up some speed!
