Meatless Chili On A Cold Friday Night

Baby it's cold outside...and Chili is just the right fix.
I'm not a vegetarian, but I do not eat very much meat at all, most of the time, I use it more for flavoring. But I have found a meatless chili recipe that is good enough that I may 'never' make chili with meat in it again. This recipe is packed with protein and does not scrimp on flavor - it is perfect in my opinion. Matter of fact, it was so good we did not eat the crackers with it. Normally, I make cornbread with chili, but with the quinoa in this, adding the extra carbs, I opted out of making cornbread. Crispy tortillas or Frito's would be delicious, we don't normally do those because of David being diabetic I just do not buy chips. We don't eat many and they are too expensive for me to buy and throw out because they would go stale long before we could finish them off.

Before all the yummy toppings.

Puff Pastry Vegetarian Pizza

It was a good day; after finding a recipe on Sweet Paul’s Blog, I knew I had to make it…and I did. It was so delicious that I will be making it again tomorrow night. I followed the way EASY directions exactly, except…I added a couple of things I needed to use up and some of my fresh herbs, which are in abundance right now - thyme, oregano, rosemary, and at the end of cooking time, some basil dipped in olive oil. Added a couple of chopped green onions and sun dried tomatoes, a few black olives…this was so simple…and too DELICIOUS to be so simple. The puff pastry is now my new favorite pizza crust, tender and flaky. This tasted much more like the European Pizza I used to eat in Germany, no tomato sauce. I love recipes like this, you can use what you have, add extras that you like.

Ready for the oven.

 Ready to eat.
