NEW CHILI RECIPE

This veggie bean & quinoa chili is packed with five (5!) varieties of peppers for depth of flavor without making the dish overwhelmingly spicy. The addition of cacao rounds out the flavors and adds an incredible richness. The chili requires a decent bit of simmering (an hour), but there’s otherwise not much active cooking time at all! It’s best enjoyed during crisp weather in your coziest attire.

THE GUJARATI THALI

Thali in the Gujarati language means plate and it is comprised of numerous components mingled to create a well-balanced meal. My thali posts on my Instagram @plantbasedartist are some of the most celebrated dishes. This is a blog post dedicated to the traditional cuisine of Gujarat, a state in the northwestern region of India. I invite you to read more about my Gujarati roots and to learn more about this traditional way of eating.
