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
- Optional toppings: avocado, fresh cilantro, hot sauce, etc.
Does this recipe need chili powder or other spices? Didn’t see it listed in the recipe
Sometimes we use red pepper flakes, or sometimes just hot sauce! It kind of depends on how spicy you want it 🙂
Liz,Alexa: The chili looks Wonderful!! Need to try it!
The chili looks great, but I am fixating on the cornbread. I haven’t had any in perhaps a year!
Yummmm….chili. Love it and can’t get enough. Ever.
Best part of the weekend? The weather!! I can’t believe it’s like summer here in Michigan, no complaints from me 🙂

Isn’t she fantastic? I’m so glad she lives so close to me!
Blogger meet-ups are so fun!
Love it!! And I will be heading back to Selba soon! That french toast was tasty.
Oh my gosh, that sounds like so much fun! Especially since TJ’s was involved too, haha. Mmm, chili….
