LENTIL AND BLACK BEAN CHILI

              LENTIL AND BLACK BEAN CHILI

Most food bloggers like myself put in countless hours putting together new recipes, setting up the photo shoot (A.K.A. my living room table), taking pictures, going through the hundreds of pics picking out which ones will be edited for the post, doing final edits on the photos, adding it to my website, and then doing all of the geeky SEO stuff that will hopefully get it noticed in the search engines. Oh yeah, I almost forgot the social media part, adding the recipe posts to Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, etc. Oh and I also started doing video recipes which I think are super cool, you can check them out on YouTube. (Pssst – there’s now a video recipe for this chili below!)

Whew! It’s no wonder I don’t have time to sit down and watch football! But that’s ok because I love what I do! And my friends and family like it because they all get to eat yummy food. 

Let’s get back to this Lentil and Black Bean Chili recipe!

Here’s what I love about this chili:

• It’s super healthy and totally vegan
• It’s hearty and delicious
• It’s really easy to make, just throw everything in a pot and let it simmer until it’s done
• Everyone will love it, even the toughest critics like my 13-year-old son
• You can make a big batch and freeze it
