Vegan Harvest Chili

New York is convenient in many ways. And in a lot of other ways, it’s also inconvenient.

One of our current inconveniences is that we don’t pay for heat in our apartment. While that sounds like a good thing, it’s not much fun when the management waits forever to turn on the boilers. The average low is 45 degrees at the moment. I am fairly certain that it’s acceptable to kick on the heat now, y’all.

Clearly, chili was not only a craving, it was also a necessity. Without hot food, we would need to pile on at least 3 more layers while in our apartment just to survive. A big pot of chili is the best solution to our current predicament.

There’s something so right about wrapping cold hands around a steaming mug. Especially when that mug is filled with deliciously filling chili. Every bite is a mouthful of flavor and comfort. Fill up your bowl or cup and enjoy.
