It Has Arrived!


Fall arrived in Kansas City this morning--yay!    Favorite season of all...the morning walk was greeted with 52 degrees, a slight breeze and a wonderful fresh smell in the air.   It's time for that first batch of veggie chili.

Veggie Chili:    In a large Dutch oven saute in olive oil till soft one small chopped onion and a diced green bell pepper.   Add 2 cans well-drained green beans, 2 cans well-drained peas and 2 cans well-drained kidney beans.   Stir in 2 cans fire roasted diced tomatoes (or 4 cups chopped peeled tomatoes from the garden) and 2 T chili powder.   Simmer till all flavors are well-combined (about 30 minutes).   Serve with crackers.

Happy Fall! It's definitely chili weather. I made a small pot of potato soup yesterday that was so yummy.

We are hot here in Atlanta, but your cooler weather should be here tomorrow. I am going to try that chili recipe! Karmen
