Well, have no fear! We&#8217;re planning two epic cooking days for this weekend, and I am positively giddy with anticipation.<\/p>\n<p>Why?<\/p>\n<p>Because. We&#8217;re making chili!!<\/p>\n<p>Now, I love chili. But we seldom get to eat it. This is in large part due to Jennie&#8217;s intolerance for spicy food, but also because it&#8217;s such a heavy meaty meal with almost no real vegetable content. A hearty bowl of chili is delicious, but it&#8217;s so much food on it&#8217;s own that I find it difficult to incorporate it into a balanced meal.\u00a0 So, I&#8217;ve been wanting to come up with a veggie-heavy chili for years now.<\/p>\n<p>It may surprise some of you to know that I was a vegetarian for about four years as a teenager\/young college undergraduate. This may seem strange, since I now spend a significant amount of my time taking pictures of raw meat, preparing it, and then eating it with enthusiasm. But really, I just LOVE vegetables, and one of the things I miss most about my vegetarian days is vegetarian chili, because it was always chock full of yummy vegetables.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Since embracing the world of traditional meat chili, I&#8217;ve tasted some winners. My parents have a fantastic recipe, which is still my reigning favorite chili. Readers of the <a href=\"http:\/\/garlicmysoul.com\/blog\/tag\/the-pioneer-woman\/\">Pioneer Woman challenge<\/a> of 2010 will remember her <a href=\"http:\/\/garlicmysoul.com\/blog\/i-see-then-i-must-leave\/\">delicious recipe<\/a> which was unfortunately too spicy for me and Jennie to eat without 75% sour cream and rice. What I&#8217;d really like to do, is take what I&#8217;ve learned from both of those recipes, add some good vegetables to the mix, and hopefully I&#8217;ll end up with a delicious (and not too spicy) chili that marries my love of vegetables with my recently renewed love of red meat.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/lh4.ggpht.com\/_YmQcBSp-FtM\/S524d_Efa2I\/AAAAAAAABhU\/1cm1kp4uf2g\/s720\/DSC_0068.JPG\" alt=\"\" width=\"432\" height=\"287\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here we are, mid-February, and yet to post a single Cucina Fresca recipe for this month.
