Easy Vegan Chili Recipe
When Sarah shot me an e-mail, asking if I’d be down for lunch & Trader Joe’s this weekend, I pretty much shouted through the computer, YES. (Ok, and I also responded with an e-mail, in case she didn’t hear me) but both of us wanted to share the food-love with other VA bloggers, so we sent out a quick twitter announcement, and rounded up a few other bloggers for lunch at Selbas, a Richmond restaurant with plenty of vegan/vegetarian options. I’d never been there, so I was pretty excited.
I enjoyed brunch with these lovely ladies:
Gabby, Me, Alexa, Adrienne, Sarah, Lauren, and Brittany.
Nothing like a great group of blogger-friends to spend brunch with, chatting about grocery stores, food photos, and twitter hashtags. 😉
Alexa may not be a VA blogger, but she IS my bff from Ohio, and she’s been here, spending an extended weekend with me. We’ve been making our way through pinterest inspiration, and my list of things to post about is getting out of control.
As a testament to our college days, of surviving on vegetarian chili, Alexa whipped up a huge batch of this on Sunday.
Alexa’s [Famous] Vegetarian Chili
Serves 6
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 cups black beans
- 4 cups chili ready diced tomatoes
- 2 cups pinto beans
- 1 1/2 cups corn
- Salt & pepper, to taste

Brunch looked so fun!!! Sad I missed it but someoneeeeeee had a little too much fun all day Saturday (ummm and night?) for shamrock the block 😉 yea, that was a fail haha. ill be there next time for sure tho, considering i’m probably never drinking mojitos or beer ever again or at least not like that (seriously tho lol)
that chili sounds delicious too, what a fun easy healthy recipe! happy monday girl!!
The looks like so much fun! We had a little meet up in ATL the weekend too. Isn’t it awesome to live near other blogger-friends? 🙂
Jealous! It looks like a great time.
What a fab group of ladies! And I remember feeling too poor for avocados. When I buy them now I still feel like I’m splurging 🙂
JEALOUS. I love meet-ups like this! Plus, Trader Joe’s?? PERFECTION.

I’m still in college so I am definitely going to try out that chili recipe..I’m always looking for quick, healthy recipes since I have no time for anything else!! sounds like you had a great weekend!:)
It’s so simple! The college version was always without avocado & cilantro, and we typically used dehydrated minced onions, instead of “fresh” onion. That meant the whole pot was like $4 to make, and lasted for days!
Red is your color girlfriend!! You look awesome!
Thanks!! 🙂
I agree! You look fantastic in red!
Looks like you had a great time with the other bloggers! 😀
That looks fun! Love blogger meet ups 🙂 Best part of my weekend was eating home made peanut cookies with my bestie!
The weather was my favourite part of this weekend! Glad yours was awesome too 🙂
