Great chili for being vegetarian. I subbed mushrooms for the carrots and Italian seasoning for the rosemary. I was in too much of a hurry, so I only simmered for 10 minutes rather than 20 minutes. I garnished with grated cheddar cheese. -
This was pretty good,but it seemed like it was missing just a little something. I didn't have any rosemary on hand, maybe that would give it a little added flavor. I tried making this a second time, and it was awesome! The best chili I have ever had. Last time, I removed all of the seeds from the jalapeno pepper because I thought it would be too hot. This time I put all of it in, and it really added that extra kick I was looking for! It was just perfect.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I've recently completed my undergrad degree, and I'm taking some time off before returning to grad school. I've done lots of cooking since graduating, and I continue to collect more recipes than I could ever possibly make.
I'm a vegetarian, and I try to make environmentally sustainable and socially conscious food choices, using local, organic, and fair trade products whenever possible. I believe that any food experience should be enjoyed holistically, with appreciation for the flavour, texture, smell, and appearance of a dish, and consideration for where the ingredients have come from and the processes they've undergone before arriving in my kitchen.
I discovered earlier this year that I have Celiac Disease and a dairy intolerance, so I'm learning new ways to cook and eat in a world full of wheat and dairy. A sad goodbye to sandwiches, pizza, beer, and cinnamon buns.
