It’s Good Friday… No school & I took the day off from work! A day of play dates, cleaning, pool time, dog washing….then I look at the clock and its 6:25! Aaaaahhhhhhh! It’s almost too late to order in! Fast & filling, I decide to make a vegetarian chili!

Let’s get this party started! 

In large saucepan add

2T olive oil, heat med- high

1/2 red onion

1 small onion

1/2 c chopped carrots

2T chopped garlic, sweat it out…. In Miami that seems like all we do…



its getting hot in here….



Add 4 small chopped sweet red peppers or 1 red bell pepper

3T Italian seasoning

Salt, pepper

3t cumin

6T chili powder

2t red pepper flakes

2 cans kidney beans, rinsed & drained

1 can corn, drained

2 boxes of Pom chopped tomatoes

3 squares dark chocolate (yep..THAT is the secret ingredient… Well chocolate & love…. ❤️)

Shhhhh….the secret ingredient….

Turn to simmer & let cook 20-30 mins.

Serve with Udi’s gluten free baguettes, cheddar cheese and, if you like ( of course you do!!! Fritos & sour cream)

My kids & their friends just gobbled that down… Great veggies, healthy dinner! Do it right! Make it a wonderful night! ✌️❤️
