Vegan Chili and Cornbread

I really need to get back to posting daily. The past month has not only been non stop for me, but the food has been awesome and full of comfort. You see it has been cold here.... real cold, like the dogs pee is frozen before they are done kind of cold. Frozen snot cold.

So we have been comfort fooding it up around here. Add that to the fact that Daddy has been gone for the first time in MONTHS so I am getting to cook all my food for a change :) It has been nice.

This is s spin on my original chili recipe. I found out over Christmas my dad taught my mom how to make chili, who knew.

Enjoy, I hope your snot is not frozen and your dogs are not slipping on their own frozen pee.
